  2. Review and Confirm Aid Application

    • After completing the FAFSA, you should receive your Student Aid Report (SAR) in your email within 2-3 days. Be sure to check your "junk" and "spam" email boxes in addition to your inbox.
    • Once you receive your report, review it for accuracy.
    • Be sure that Glenville State University is listed as the college you will be attending.
    • If you need to make corrections, you may do so by logging back into your FAFSA at www.studentaid.gov.

  3. Provide Additional Documentation 

    • If nothing needs to be corrected and Glenville State is listed, you will receive an email and a letter from the Financial Aid Office asking you to provide additional documentation.
    • Please promptly supply the requested material in order to speed up the processing of your financial aid file. Files are processed in the order in which they are received.
    • 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 or by email at financial.aid@glenville.edu.

  4. Check Your Award Notification

    • 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.
    • Returning students will receive an email notifying them that awards for the upcoming year are available for review in their EdNet account.

     

    For Students Accepting Loans

    • If you are accepting student loans for the first time, you MUST complete the Master Promissory Note (MPN) online at www.studentaid.gov. The MPN is normally valid for 10 academic years. All students receiving a loan for the first time MUST also complete Student Loan Entrance Counseling at www.studentaid.gov.
    • Loans for first-time freshmen are subject to a one time 30-day disbursement delay (that is, loans will disburse 30 days after the beginning of the first semester of college).
    • It is requested that ALL students accepting student loans complete the Loan Entrance Counseling EACH YEAR at www.studentaid.gov to indicate subsequent year acceptance.
    • All loans will have two disbursements. If the loan is for the whole year, it will pay half in the fall semester and half in the spring semester. If it is only a single semester loan, half will pay at the beginning of the semester and half around mid-term.
    • All part-time students must contact the Financial Aid Office for possible loan adjustments, or loans will not pay to your account. Students must be enrolled in at least six hours to be considered for federal student loans.

  5. Register and Pay

    • After you register for classes, and beginning in early July, you will receive an email to view your Billing Invoice on your EdNet account.
    • 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 refund, which is financial aid that is leftover after your bill is paid. You may request that this refund be direct deposited by completing a direct deposit form with our cashier.
