Financial Aid Reminders
Please remember to adjust your enrollment in Maine Street if you are changing the number of credit hours from what was expected of you for the spring term. Also for those of you who filed a SAP appeal for fall, remember that you are under contract with financial aid to meet certain academic standards. If you will not meet those, there is yet another appeal process but you must demonstrate extraordinary circumstances.
Reapplying for Financial Aid for summer & fall 2012 and spring 2013. Just as soon after the New Year, we advise that you prepare your 2011 federal income taxes and then file your FAFSA for the 2012-2013 academic year. The earlier you apply, the more money you may be awarded!
