Award Notifications

You will receive an e-mail notification at your registered KU e-mail account when your eligibility for financial aid has been determined and your awards are available for you to review. You can establish your registered KU e-mail account at www.ku.edu/computing/services. Check your e-mail account and Enroll & Pay frequently to review any official KU correspondence and check your financial aid status.

ACCEPT/DECLINE AWARDS

You will need to accept or decline your financial aid awards through Enroll & Pay (Student Center > Accept/Decline Awards). You will have 30 days from the date of the e-mail to accept financial aid before it is cancelled. Award notifications are sent weekly. If your aid is cancelled, you may request reinstatement of your financial aid. A request for reinstatement does not guarantee that your original awards will still be available.

On the Accept/Decline Awards page, you will have the option to accept or decline each award. If you wish to accept only part of a loan, simply reduce the loan amount. Once you click the accept box, the dollar amount will change to a field where you may adjust the number to a reduced amount. In some cases, you may change your eligibility for Federal Work-Study to loan eligibility, and vice versa. Contact the OSFA for details.

ACCEPTING LOANS

See the current Financial Aid Guide to review annual and aggregate loan limits. If you accept loan funds, you are required to have a Master Promissory Note (MPN) on file. If you accept a Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) , your parent will be required to submit a PLUS Request form for the current aid year and will also be required to electronically sign an MPN. To determine what items are needed to complete your financial aid file, login to Enroll & Pay (Student Center>"To Do List"). The items on your "To Do List" will need to be completed before financial aid funds can be disbursed.

Note: It is possible for your financial aid to be adjusted/cancelled after you have completed the acceptance process. Please see the current Financial Aid Guide for details on what circumstances may lead to an adjustment and/or cancellation.
