Host: Something on my award notice is not accurate. What should I do?

Brad Barnett: If you notice any inaccuracies on your financial aid award notice when you review it, the first thing you want to do is call the financial aid office. Your eligibility for financial aid could change depending on what is inaccurate. For example, often times we look at enrolment status, when we determine, it s financial aid eligibility for grants. So, if your award notice tells you that you are a fulltime student, but you know you re only going to be taken a halftime load of classes, you need to let us know as soon as possible because your aid can change based on that.
