Spring 2008 Check Disbursement
The Cashier's Office will mail checks to those who have aid that exceeds their charges to UNCG beginning January 10, 2008. Please make sure you update your mailing address on UNCGenie as the checks will go to your campus mailbox if you live on campus or to your local address if you live off campus. Aid will be disbursed to students who are registered, have submitted all necessary forms to the UNCG Financial Aid Office, are making satisfactory academic progress, and have been confirmed in their courses for the spring semester. Loan funds cannot be disbursed until they have been received from your lender.You may not be confirmed in your courses due to:
- Owing a balance to UNCG above the amount of financial aid you are receiving.
- Owing a prior balance from a previous year greater than $100 (which includes the 2007 summer term).
- By not completing your university immunization requirements.
- By not having financial aid awarded to you due to not completing requirements.
You should view your status on UNCGenie. If you have questions you may contact our Financial Aid Counselors at (336) 334-5702. Please enter your ID and PIN to discuss specific information about your account. You may also receive general information about financial aid by sending e-mail to finaid@uncg.edu.
Complete a FAFSA for the 2008-2009 Academic Year
Make sure to complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in order to be considered for financial aid for the 2008-2009 academic year. The FAFSA web site allows you to file your application quickly and easily.
Free Aplication for Federal Student Aid: www.fafsa.ed.gov
ALERT: If you have recently received a letter from a company called "College Financial Advisory" based in San Diego, CA, please note that this company is NOT affiliated with the federal government, College Board, or UNC Greensboro. The letter advises students to apply for financial aid programs by completing the "Student Aid Profile" and sending $48. This is NOT how students apply for federal, state, and institutional aid programs at UNC Greensboro.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, FAFSA, is a free federal application. It is used by schools to evaluate a student's financial aid eligibility. Please do not pay to apply for financial aid as the process is FREE!
Picture ID Now Required at the Financial Aid Office
To ensure that your information is kept confidential, we now require that you confirm your identity by showing a picture ID at the front desk when speaking to a counselor about your financial aid. Parents who wish to speak to a counselor about their child's financial aid without their child present must provide their child's student ID number and PIN.
Chat Online with a Financial Aid Counselor
If you have general questions about financial aid at UNCG, you may chat one-on-one with a Financial Aid Counselor via Webchat during our regular counseling hours: 8:00am – 11:00am and 3:00pm - 5:00pm weekdays, except Thursdays (8:00am – 11:00am) and UNCG holidays & closures.
Immunization Requirements and Financial Aid
Financial aid will not be applied to your student bill until Student Health Services confirms that you have satisfied your immunization requirements. If you haven’t already done so, make sure to complete the Student Medical Form and submit it to Student Health Services in order to provide information about your health and immunization history.
