Steps to Accept or Decline Your Financial Aid Offer by Mail:

If you prefer to respond to your aid offer by mail, you can accept all student aid offered by simply signing and returning the financial aid notification. If you want to decline some or all of the aid offered, circle "D" next to the aid you do not want. Be sure to sign and date the notification and return it to the Financial Aid Office.

Whether you respond to your aid offer electronically or by mail, you must accept or decline your offer within two weeks of the date printed on the notification. If you do not respond within two weeks, the offer will be subject to cancellation.

Form C and Full-Time Student Status Requirements

All financial aid is packaged based on full-time student status. If you do not plan to be a full-time student, complete Form C and return it to the Financial Aid Office. To obtain Form C, go to the Financial Aid Office Web site and click on Forms & Publications.
