Financial Aid - Application Checklist
General questions to help you complete the financial aid application
process:
Have I filed my Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA)?
It is recommended that you do this by late January/ early February to
meet SHU’s priority application date of March 1. You can complete the
FAFSA using estimated tax information if you or your parents’ taxes have
not been filed. Complete the FAFSA on either of the Web sites listed
above. (If you plan to apply for aid for the summer term, also complete
the FAFSA for the current year.) Our school code is 002632.
Did I receive the Student Aid Report (SAR) as a result of filing the
FAFSA?
It will be sent to you via email if you completed the FAFSA online. If
not, call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED AID
(1-800-433-3243).
If there were problems with the FAFSA, did I resolve them quickly by
making any necessary corrections?
To check the status of your application call the Federal Student Aid
Information Center at 1-800-4-FED AID (1-800-433-3243).
Have I submitted all the items requested on my “To Do List”?
These would include items such as: the Verification forms, or tax forms,
which are needed if the federal processor selected your file for
verification, etc. (The “To Do List” will begin to show financial aid
items needed after your FAFSA has been received at SHU.)
Have I updated my e-mail address to make sure I will receive all
important SHU communications?
E-mail is our primary method of communication to returning or continuing
students. New students will be communicated with via mail.
Have I reviewed the financial aid awards that have been offered to
me?
For incoming students you will receive a paper Financial Aid
Notification via mail. All continuing students can review your aid at
the end of March for students who have completed the FAFSA.
Have I reviewed the Program Eligibility Chart, found on the FAO Web
site, under Receiving Aid, to ensure my eligibility to receive my
awards?
This includes number of hours required to receive aid programs,
transient and remedial hours, etc.
Do I understand that my success in classes directly affects my
eligibility for financial aid?
Detailed information can be found on the FAO Web site, under Receiving
Aid, Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.
Don’t forget to check your
“To Do List” again and often!
