Some financial aid forms are available for students to complete and sign electronically. The following information will help in the use of the Dynamic Forms service to securely complete and electronically sign financial aid forms.
Students must have a UCF email address to access Dynamic Forms. It may take up to 24 hours after student applicants are matriculated for your UCF email account to be created for access to Dynamic Forms.
UCF students will access Dynamic Forms through their To-Do List on myUCF. After using the link within the To-Do List students will be presented with the UCF Federated Login for Dynamic Form, using the UCF NID and NID password students will log in to the specific Dynamic Form. Any documents (tax transcripts, W2s, etc.) uploaded to Dynamic Forms must be in PDF format.
Students should NOT use the general Dynamic Forms login page [https://dynamicforms.ngwebsolutions.com…], as this will result in an Invalid ID or password message:
Students Employed On-Campus, including FWS and OPS Employment
Students employed by UCF may have a UCF business email account (@ucf.edu). If so, that will be the email address associated with Dynamic Forms. The email address associated with Dynamic Forms will be listed at the beginning of the form along with the first name, last name and UCFID. All communications from the Dynamic Forms system will be sent to the account pre-filled in the form. Students can confirm their business email address on the personal information section of your myUCF account.
To access your business account visit webmail.ucf.edu. Sign in with your NID and Password.
Submitting Dynamic Forms
Financial aid forms will automatically be submitted to UCF Office of Student Financial Assistance once completed and all electronic signatures have been successfully provided. If a student chooses to not electronically sign the form, the form must be printed and sent along with any other documentation to the financial aid office for processing.
Submitted Dynamic Forms cannot be accessed again for the purpose of making corrections and/or adjustments. All support documentation uploaded must be in PDF format. Students and parents, required to submit other documentation (i.e. tax return transcripts or W-2’s) along with the form, will be able to upload these documents (PDF format only) directly in to the Dynamic Form online. Dynamic Forms and/or supporting documents cannot be submitted using the Document and File Uploader, mail, fax or in-person.
To convert documents to PDF format students may use options such as Create PDF Files with Your Phone. The maximum PDF file size accepted is 3MB (3000KB). To reduce the file size of the PDF attachments for Dynamic Forms try using www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/compress-pdf.html.
Rejected Forms/ Returned for Revision: If the Office of Student Financial Assistance determines a submitted dynamic form is unacceptable or incomplete, it will be returned for revision. A revision email will be sent to the appropriate dynamic form participant. The student or parent participant must take action on a rejected form, based on the information provided in the revision email. The form must be electronically signed again by all form participants. Dynamic Forms and/or supporting documents cannot be submitted using the Document and File Uploader, mail, fax or in-person. Email attachments are not accepted nor opened.
Dynamic Forms Dashboard
To view forms that have been completed or are pending completion students should use the Dynamic Forms Dashboard. Students will use their NID and NID password to access the Dynamic Forms Dashboard. Parents should login to Dynamic Forms at dynamicforms.ngwebsolutions.com, using their Dynamic Forms username and password.
Pending /Draft Forms: After logging into the Dynamic Forms Dashboard, click on “Pending / Draft Forms” button. The first box listed represents forms the student has outstanding in an incomplete or draft status. The second box represents incomplete or draft documents for a parent or co-signer to complete.
Forms History: After logging into the Dynamic Forms Dashboard, click on the “Forms History” link. A new page will appear listing all completed documents for that account, sorted by date with the most recently completed at the top. Students will be able to also view the completed form by clicking on the link provided.
Timer
To help protect user information, the Dynamic Forms system will time out after a period of inactivity. Users will notice a timer count in the upper right-hand corner of most Dynamic Forms. It shows the remaining time to complete a form. Users should save their progress if the remaining time is about to expire. Any unsaved information entered at timer’s expiration will be lost.
If your login to dynamic forms has timed out you will end up on the general Dynamic Forms login page, NOT the UCF Dynamic Forms login page, and your UCF log-in credentials will not work. If you attempt to login to this general website it will give you the Invalid ID or Password message below.
Uploading Required Documentation
All support documentation uploaded must be in PDF format.
To convert documents to PDF format students may use options such as Create PDF Files with Your Phone. The maximum PDF file size accepted is 3MB (3000KB). To reduce the file size of the PDF attachments for Dynamic Forms try using www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/compress-pdf.html.

Parent Information and Signatures
