New students and returning eligible students are notified via their College email when they have been offered Financial Aid or their aid has been adjusted. The email will direct students to their Financial Aid Student Portal via myPEAK to review their Financial Aid Offer. For students enrolling for the fall semester, packaging and offer notifications typically begin April 1, the Financial Aid Office Priority Deadline. For students not enrolled for fall and are attending the spring semester, notifications generally are sent in early to mid-November. Eligible students receive information outlining financial aid being offered and the terms and conditions of the offer. Most offers are based upon financial need, and eligible students generally are awarded a combination of types of awards, referred to as a “financial aid package.” This “package” is usually comprised of grants, scholarships, and loans. Non-eligible students are notified regarding ineligibility for aid and if applicable, the process for appeal.
