When Will I Hear About My Financial Aid?

  1. Students will receive an email notifying them that their aid is now available in YourConnection to view. The SUNY Financial Aid Plan will list all federal, state, and institutional aid that the applicant is eligible to receive.  
  2. If you have been awarded a Federal Work Study position, the TEACH Grant, and/or a Federal Direct Stafford Loan, you must go to http://www.fredonia.edu and log in to YourConnection to accept, decline or accept partial amounts of these awards. Federal Work Study must be accepted by July 31 or the award will be canceled and offered to another student. Refer to our website for instructions.
  3. To move federal awards to an authorized status for billing purposes, applicants may be required to go through the federally mandated verification process (see below).
  4. Throughout the summer the Financial Aid Office processes required financial aid documents with the intention of making aid authorized for credit on the university bill by mid-July. Students must complete all missing requirements in a timely (as early as possible) basis in order to ensure that this occurs.
