Financial Aid Report
The end of the semester is quickly approaching. This is a busy time of year for your financial aid process. There are chores you need to do before you leave for the winter break, and chores you need to do during the Xmas break.
The following are your chores to accomplish prior to the end of the term:
- Make sure you pre-register and affirm your enrollment. You will not receive your last EOP direct check until these tasks are completed.
- Make sure you examine your Spring '05 student bill and financial aid award very carefully to make sure they both are accurate.
- Make sure you remember that the alumni fee is optional and that Easy Money is a charge, not financial aid.
- Check your semester meal plan balance. Always remember that any fall term balance carries over to the spring term.
- Make sure you also remember that at the end of the academic year in May, any remaining balance is forfeited.
- Make sure you address any holds on your account, prior to the winter break. Certain holds can impact your ability to register and may impact your ability to remain at Brockport.
The following are your chores to accomplish during the winter break:
- You need to start the financial aid application process for the 05/06 academic year.
- Make sure you know your PIN for the financial aid application process. If you don't know it, you may request it by going to www.pin.ed.gov
- As returning students, your FAFSA will be available at www.fafsa.ed.gov * Don't forget that there is a link to TAP (NY State aid) when you reach the end of the FAFSA application.
- You and any parental units must start gathering the needed income documentation as quickly as possible in January. This is separate from when you actually file your tax forms with the government.
- As soon as you have the accurate information available, you should start the financial aid renewal process. This is accomplished by going to the FAFSA Web site and using your PIN to access your records.
- Make sure you bring either the signature page or confirmation page to your EOP counselor. You need to apply for financial aid by February 15, 2005. Failure to so do will result in your EOP direct check being blocked.
As always, make sure you work with your EOP counselor to ensure a successful financial aid application process. Have a safe and happy break!
