Selective Service Appeal
Revised March 2013
Student Name: _________________________________ Diamond ID: __________________________
Campus: ______________________________________ Submission Number: ___________________
A Selective Service Appeal is not necessary if you meet one of the following conditions:
I have a Selective Service Status Information Letter (with codes E1 E8, NM).
I have a DD-214 “Certificate of Release or Discharge” proving a Discharge (other than dishonorable) from Active Duty.
I am a female.
I was over the age of 26 upon entry into the United States.
I have already registered and can provide a copy of my Selective Service Registration.
I have had a Legal Name Change conflicting with the name used to originally register with Selective Service.
If you would like to receive federal financial aid assistance, please complete all pages in this document.
Per the Federal Student Aid Handbook, any man (aged 18-25) is required to register with Selective Service to receive Federal Student
Aid (FSA). This requirement covers men residing in the United States who are U.S. citizens or non-citizens, except a lawful
nonimmigrant who maintains that status. The Central Processing System (CPS) performs a match with Selective Service to confirm a
student’s registration status.
The student will complete all sections of this form, supplying any additional required documentation indicated within the form. This form
and the additional documentation will then be uploaded to the “Selective Service Registration” document requirement in Diamond.
Step 1: Read the complete Reason for Selective Service Appeal chart below. Check the type of special circumstance you are claiming
in your Selective Service appeal, as well as the type of supporting documents you will be supplying to document the special
circumstances. Then, in the space provided, give a concise statement explaining why you failed to register for Selective Service
between the ages of 18-25.
Step 2: All documents must be uploaded into the Diamond Financial Aid Management System for review and processing.
