    Look over your offer. Contact SFS if you need to make changes.

    Check your requirements.

    Federal verification and other requirements may affect the amount of your awards and your ability to accept them.

    The budget on your aid offer contains a breakdown of your estimated costs based on your student profile. You can use the tuition calculator to estimate more specific housing and meal plan costs.

    Your aid offer assumes full-time enrollment.

    Contact SFS if you will be enrolled less than full time.

    Report additional funding sources.

    Additional awards such as tuition remission, scholarships and grants may affect your current aid eligibility. Report these sources to SFS.

    Notify SFS of any necessary changes to your student profile.

    Housing and grade level statuses must be corrected on the FAFSA or by contacting SFS.

    Check your tuition rates before changing your major.
