Directions for Accepting/Declining Financial Aid Awards

p. 1, 2, 3

Step 5: Choose the aid year that you wish to view. In many cases, only one aid year will be available, as in the example below.

Step 6: Your financial aid award package will appear on the following screen.

You can learn more about each award by clicking on the award’s name. An Award Detail will display, like the one below, with important information about the award.

Choose Return to Award Package to return to your award package.

Step 7: Next, you can accept or decline the awards and, in some cases, modify the awards.

For loans, you can modify the loan amount, if you wish. To modify an award, first choose the box in the accept column for the award you wish to modify. Then, you can lower the amount in the text box that appears. (You can only lower the amount on this screen.)

In our example below, a student was offered a Federal Stafford Subsided Loan in the amount of $4,500. He decreased the amount to $3,500.

Note, Federal Stafford Loan Awards will require an additional step after you’ve accepted the award. This step is not completed within PeopleSoft. This step is described in more detail in the Important Information on Federal Stafford Loan Award box below.

After you’ve reviewed your awards, and accepted, modified, or declined each award, choose Submit at the bottom of the screen.

Notice that you can choose accept all or decline all awards at the bottom of the screen. Choosing one of these options will accept all of your awards or decline them, respectively. (You’ll see the checkmarks appear in the accept or decline column.) If you choose one of these options, you must still choose Submit in order for PeopleSoft to process your request.

Step 8: After you choose Submit, you’ll need to read Student Rights and Responsibilities carefully and choose Yes to continue submitting.

Clicking No will cancel your submission process, and the financial aid awards will not be awarded to you.

Step 9: A screen will appear that indicates that your submission was successful.

If you accepted a Federal Stafford Loan Award, you have one additional step to complete. This step is not completed within PeopleSoft. This step is described in more detail in the Important Information on Federal Stafford Loan Award box below.
