The mail CASFAA listserv enables individuals to send and read messages to and from CASFAA members and others interested in student aid issues and who have e-mail addresses and subscribed to the service. The listserv is an excellent method of communicating to nearly one-half of CASFAA members in an immediate way regarding current issues in student aid administration and CASFAA activities.

The listserv is intended to provide a forum for the discussion of all matters relating to the administration of student financial aid for California aid professionals and issues relating to CASFAA issues. Typical topics of discussion on this list may include automation within the financial aid community, the use of professional judgment, interpretation and impact of federal regulations, and institutional policies and procedures. Job vacancies or postings are not permitted on the listserv. Please use the JobsLink to submit these types of announcements.

Certain discussion items are not welcomed on this listserv. These topics include non-financial aid discussions or private business matters. If you are a parent or student, you will be better served by contacting an experienced financial aid administrator at your school.

For the protection of the subscribers, this is a moderated list. Messages should be posted to Casfaa-L@casfaa.org. For general and policy issues related to the listserv, contact Wayne A Mahoney,Webmaster at wmahoney@swlaw.edu.
