Viewing and Accepting Awards
Use the tutorial below to assist you with viewing and accepting your financial aid awards in Student Self-Service.
Helpful Information
- You may accept or decline loans offered to you
- Accept your Federal Direct Subsidized loan first if offered to you, it has more favorable terms
- The loan amount you accept, will be split into two payments; a fall payment and spring payment for a fall and spring loan (i.e. if you accept $3,000, you will receive $1,500 for fall and $1,500 for spring minus the loan origination fees)
- Review Federal Direct Loans for additional information
- Use Student Self-Service to see the amount of tuition and fee charges you owe for the semester
