factor in your decision to return to your studies, that is why we encourage every returning student to submit the FAFSA (SOU school code: 003219).\u00a0 In addition to the FAFSA, we invite you to take a look at the other forms of <a href=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/financial-aid\/\">financial aid<\/a> available at SOU and reach out to the Office of Financial Aid if you have questions.<\/p>\n<p>Use the following form if you have been away from SOU for more than 3 terms, and your SOU student account will be reactivated.\u00a0 Two to three business days after submitting the form, you will receive an email (to the email you provide on the form) with more details about course registration.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"micro-text\"><em>*Please note, if you have received a bachelor&#8217;s or
