My Zone
My Zone is the portal through which online interactions for the purposes of data inquiries, eligibility announcements and payment requests for ISAC-administered programs will be conducted. Due to the confidential nature of the student-specific data involved, a secure authentication process is required before access can be granted.

Assigning an Administrator

This page will provide the steps to follow for easy access to My Zone. ISAC will rely on a contact person, or Administrator, at each institution to authorize users. The My Zone Administrator will ultimately be responsible for monitoring passwords, staff access, and security for a variety of ISAC programs. The request for institutional access should come from the Financial Aid Director.

My Zone Log On

This page will allow New Administrator to Sign Up or existing users to Log On. Assigning an Administrator provides easy-to-follow steps for obtaining the appropriate code and log on.

The same User Name and Password can be used for all programs to which a user has been granted access by the My Zone Administrator designated at each school. As additional ISAC programs are added to My Zone, the administrator needs to go to My Zone User Maintenance and update the program access and level for each user.
