Fraud Alert: Phishing Email Targeting Students

Student Accounts and Billing Services has been made aware of a phishing email that is circulating and falsely appears to come from the University's Financial Aid Office.

The fraudulent email claims that your financial aid funds are on hold due to incomplete verification and instructs you to click a link to log in to a "Refund Portal" to prevent the termination of your financial aid.

Do not click any links or provide personal information. If you've received this email, immediately report it as phishing and delete it. Please continue to access your student account only through the University's official website.

For questions regarding your financial aid, please contact the Office of Financial Aid directly at finaid@westga.edu or for questions about your refund, please contact our office at studentaccounts@westga.edu.
