• Once posted, you have approximately two weeks to make a decision before your award offer expires.

• All amounts shown will be issued in two disbursements. For example, 50% of the monies will be disbursed in the fall semester and 50% will be disbursed in the spring semester.
• Depending upon their nature, some of your awards may require additional steps/documentation before your monies will be disbursed. Please refer to your account on S.A.I.L. for more information.

• You are not obligated to accept any loans offered to you, and never borrow more than what you need.

Should you need to make any changes to the award amounts you have accepted/declined, you can do so by submitting a Change Request Form (also often referred to as a "Repack" form) to the Office of Student Financial Assistance. You are allowed to request an adjustment for any of the following reasons:

• You made a mistake while accepting/declining your awards.
• You later decide to accept more or less of an award amount.
• You later decide to decline an award amount or all awards offered.
• Your award offers expired before you could make a decision (note that once your offer expires, your grants may be redistributed to other qualified students).
• You feel you may qualify for an adjustment to your cost of attendance (supporting documentation is required).
