Every day you’ll make a meaningful difference by providing dedicated financial case management for former ASU students striving to return to their education. You will help students move past complex financial and administrative barriers that stand between them and enrollment, including financial aid, satisfactory academic progress, outstanding balances, holds, collections, payment arrangements, and scholarship eligibility.

Your work will directly support ASU’s broader re-entry strategy across digital and campus immersion populations, all while adhering to established policies and guidelines.

Essential Duties

• Owns and manages complex financial re-entry cases from identification through resolution, including outstanding balances, financial holds, collections, late fees, in-house payment plans, cost-of-attendance issues, and other financial barriers to enrollment. Provides individualized coordination for students regardless of scholarship eligibility.


• Serves as the Re-Entry team’s primary financial liaison, coordinating cases across Financial Aid Support Services (FASS), Student Business Services (SBS), Enrollment Services, academic units, and other university partners.

• Partners with Re-Entry Enrollment Coaches and Specialists to provide coordinated support so financial casework does not interrupt outreach, engagement, or the student’s broader re-enrollment journey.


• Works effectively in a fast-paced, policy-dependent environment with time-sensitive deadlines, detailed financial information, and multiple concurrent cases requiring accuracy and follow-through.


• Maintains appropriate confidentiality and follows university policies and procedures when handling student financial and educational information.
