Respond Promptly to Requests for Additional Information

Sometimes additional information is required in order to process financial aid applications. It is essential that you and your child respond promptly to any requests for further documentation. While we strive to maintain contact with each student, it is your child’s responsibility and very important to make sure that all documents are accurate, complete and submitted in a timely manner.

Complete Loan Entrance Counseling

Before we can disburse Federal Stafford Loans (subsidized or unsubsidized), regulations require that your child complete an entrance counseling session. The counseling session provides information about how to manage student loans, both during and after college. This counseling is available online. Visit our “Federal Direct Loans” information page for additional information.

It is essential that your child adhere to the eligibility requirements for each type of aid they receive. If they are receiving federal student aid, it is essential that they maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress while working toward a degree or certificate.

Adhere to Credit Load Requirements

It is also important that your child maintain credit load requirements for the aid sources they are offered. Different types of financial aid require that they be registered in a specific number of hours before being eligible to receive that award. Visit our General Eligibility page for specific information on Credit Load Requirements.
