The Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) is required to provide you with information
specific to the types of aid you have been offered. Once you have followed the links
and read the information, enter a ‘Y’ in each box and click GO. You will not be able to
proceed until you have entered a ‘Y’ for each box.
The “MESSAGES” screen contains important messages specific to the type(s) of aid you have been
offered. This screen also indicates if you have been offered any aid which requires you to accept or
decline it and if so, the deadline for doing so. If you do not accept or decline the aid offered, OSFA
will email you several reminder emails before cancelling the aid. Federal Direct Loans which are
cancelled now CAN be reinstated later. Other aid requiring acceptance CANNOT be reinstated due
to limited funds.

This is a sample Award screen displaying pre-accepted aid and unaccepted aid
that has been offered. Blank lines under the “AMT YOU ACCEPT” column
indicate types of aid requiring your confirmation. If you do not have any blank
lines on your Award, no action is required.
The “IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS” screen provides information about which types of aid
have been pre-accepted and which types of aid require confirmation. If you have aid
which requires confirmation (unaccepted aid), you MUST enter an “AMT YOU ACCEPT”
for that aid type. The “AMT YOU ACCEPT” cannot exceed the “Total” amount offered but
can range from 0 to the “Total” amount offered.
You may also read more information
about the type of aid being offered.
For each type of aid requiring
your confirmation, you must
enter an “AMT YOU ACCEPT”.
Enter 0 if you do not wish to
accept this type of aid.
In this example, the
student accepted the
full amount of aid
offered.
In this example, the
student indicated a ‘0'
since they did not want
the type of aid offered.
Remember that Federal
Direct Loans which are
cancelled now CAN be
reinstated later. Other
aid requiring acceptance
CANNOT be reinstated
due to limited funds.
If you pressed GO but failed to enter an “AMT YOU ACCEPT”,
you will receive an error message.
This is a sample Award summary screen displaying all aid we pre-accepted and
the “AMT YOU ACCEPT” for types of aid requiring your action. If all aid amounts

After you Submit your request a similar screen to the one above will appear.
If your request requires a revision, please allow 10 business days for
processing. You will receive an email when your Award has been revised.
