View and Accept Your Award

When you have been offered financial aid, you will receive an award notification message in your Student Center.

If you were offered a student loan, you will be required to accept it, decline it or you can request a lesser amount.

Pell grant funds are automatically accepted, but the amount may be adjusted at the start of the semester to reflect your enrollment.
