Financial Aid and Scholarships

By accepting your financial aid package, you are agreeing to certain responsibilities.  These responsibilities include:

• Meeting the Office of Financial Aid Scholarships Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements.
  
  • Meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress  is a requirement that all financial aid recipients must fulfill.  These and the rest of the responsibilities you agree to when accepting your award can be viewed on our Terms and Conditions page.
• Notifying the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships of any outside scholarships or resources that you are receiving.
  
  • All students must notify the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships if they are receiving any scholarships or outside sources of assistance.  To do so, simply fill out a Reporting Additional Sources of Assistance form and submit it to our office.
• Notifying the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships if your attendance during any term of enrollment is less than full-time(your aid will not disburse if you have not notified us that you will be less than full-time).
  
  • All students must notify the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships if their enrollment is less than full-time.  Full-time enrollment, for financial aid purposes, is 12 credits for undergraduate students and 9 credits for graduate students.  If you need to adjust your enrollment you can submit an Enrollment Revision Request. On this form you can indicate your planned enrollment for the current financial aid year.  Once your request has been processed, you will be notified if changes to your award have been made.

You are ultimately responsible for managing your Financial Aid experience while you are at OSU. Communication is the key. By proactively checking your account for outstanding requirements, informing us of enrollment changes and making sure your information is up to date you will avoid any unexpected challenges!
