The Step-by-step Process of Applying
for Financial Aid
This is an overview of the financial aid process. Please
read through this carefully. This information can be
used as a guide at any point in the financial aid
application process to help you determine the status of
your financial aid paperwork, and to assist you in
asking questions about the status of your financial aid.
It is also a good idea to begin a folder in which to
keep all of your financial aid paperwork.
You may review your records online clicking on the "PIX" from the hompage,
www.glenville.edu,
and entering the secure area.
Step 1
- To apply on-line, you and your parents (if applicable)
need to request a PIN at
www.pin.ed.gov. This is how you will sign your
on-line FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student
Aid).
- Completing your FAFSA online is the best method, since
it is faster and more accurate than paper. You can
complete the FAFSA on-line at
www.fafsa.ed.gov.
You may also complete a paper FAFSA.
- However you complete the FAFSA, be sure to list
Glenville State as the college you will be attending,
using school code 003813.
- To complete the FAFSA you will need:
1. Your and your parent’s (if applicable) social security
numbers.
2. Your and your parent’s (if applicable) income
information.
- Be sure to sign your application electronically using
your PIN.
- Be sure to print a copy of your completed FAFSA and
your Submission Confirmation before exiting.
- This information will then be transmitted to you and
the Financial Aid Office in the form of a Student Aid
Report.
Step 2
- After completing the FAFSA, you should receive your
Student Aid Report (SAR) within 2-4 weeks. If you
provided an e-mail address, the report will be sent to
your e-mail address (it could end up in your spam box)
within 2-3 days.
- Once you receive your report, review it for accuracy.
- Be sure that Glenville State is listed as the college
you will be attending.
- If you need to make corrections, you may use your PIN
to access your record on-line at
www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Step 3
- If nothing needs to be corrected and Glenville State
is listed, you will receive a letter from the Financial
Aid Office asking you to complete a Data Sheet, or to
complete a Verification Worksheet and provide additional
documentation.
- Please promptly supply the requested material in order
to speed up the processing of your financial aid file.
- If you do not receive a letter from the Financial Aid
Office within 2-3 weeks after receiving your Student Aid
Report, please contact the Financial Aid Office at (304)
462-4103.
Step 4
- After returning the requested verification information
to the Financial Aid Office, you should receive an award
notification in approximately 2-4 weeks.
- If you do not receive your award notification within
2-4 weeks, inquire with the Financial Aid Office.
- Once you receive your award notification, review it
carefully and read the accompanying material.
For Students Accepting Loans for the First Time
- If you are accepting student loans for the first time,
you may complete the promissory note online at
https://dlenote.ed.gov.
This promissory note is valid for 10 academic years.
- Before a student loan can pay to your account, you
will also need to complete entrance counseling online at
www.dlssonline.com.
- All part-time students must contact the Financial Aid
Office for possible loan adjustments or loans will not
pay to your account.
Step 5
- After you register for classes you will receive a
Billing Invoice. Be sure to follow the instructions on
your invoice.
- If you have a positive balance on your billing
invoice, you will need to make payment arrangements with
the cashier or inquire about the status of your
financial aid.
- If you have a negative balance, this indicates that
you will receive a financial aid credit check, which is
financial aid that is leftover after your bill is paid.
Reminder: You must reapply for financial aid each
academic year.
