A financial aid offer letter will be available online through the Financial Planning section of MyAccess, to each accepted applicant after the Student Finance Office receives the FAFSA results. To confirm and reserve the funds offered, students should click accept on all awards they wish to receive.
Financial aid awards are made on a rolling basis, as long as funds are available, with the neediest students receiving priority. The financial aid award package may be a combination of the following:
When financial aid recipients receive additional resources not included in the financial aid offer letter, it is the student's responsibility to report these funds to the Student Finance Office. Federal regulations prohibit overawards. Therefore, when the total of all resources exceeds the allowable student budget, financial aid awards must be adjusted. When financial aid funds have already been credited to the student's account, any adjustments due to overawards will be charged to the student's account.
Financial aid awards are disbursed based on enrollment status each semester. The disbursement will show as a credit on a student's account. Loan funds received from the federal loan programs will in most cases be automatically credited to the student's account after the semester's census date and once the master promissory note (MPN), entrance counseling, and Annual Student Loan Acknowledgement (ASLA) requirements are met.
