Step 8—Financial Aid Award Checklist
In addition to the award letter you received, which outlines your financial aid eligibility, you may also borrow additional loan resources to help with your remaining cost of attendance. Please refer to the Federal Graduate PLUS Loan program.
We would encourage you to refer to the 2007-2008 Financial Aid Checklist of required documents needed to process and disburse your financial aid. By following the checklist, you will ensure meeting all filing deadlines and requests for documentation.
AND FINALLY…
 |
Check your department mail folder regularly once
you are on campus. This is our most common means of communicating
critical financial aid news to you when you are enrolled. |
|
The Student Information System (SIS) is another convenient
tool that lets you know when important financial aid documents are
required. You can check your account on SIS at www.rit.edu/SIS. |
|
Oftentimes we send e-mail reminders throughout the
year about important deadlines or documents needed. If you don’t
use your DCE account for everyday e-mail usage, remember to put
a mail forward address on it to ensure that you receive these timely
messages. |

Graduate students that are considered to be full
time while completing thesis requirements have a maximum of four
quarters of student loan eligibility. |
