1. In the Student Portal, click on the My Financial Aid tab.
2. My Financial Aid lists all financial aid awards that are available, and provides the option of accepting or declining the award. If a student’s financial aid awards are packaged for the year (vs. just a single term) under a single financial aid status record then all the awards for that package will display in the student portal under their financial aid section. For example, if a student was packaged and received an award for $2000 dollars split 50/50 over FA-16 and SP-17 then when the student goes to the student portal for FA-16 or SP-17, they will see both awards for both terms. Awards for a single term are also displayed for the current or future terms.
A student can Accept or Decline each award that is available to them. Once the award has been accepted or declined and submitted, the student cannot modify the selection in the portal.
*NOTE: The Student Accepted field on the Financial Aid Award Detail Entry window in Elements reflects the choice the student made on the portal. It can be changed here anytime by financial aid staff.
