About the financial aid package activation date...

<p>Does the activation deadline you get mean you must have accepted/declined award offers or that you must have logged onto your account and viewed them? I tried calling the financial aid office but I can't get through b/c they're so busy!</p>

<p>Nevermind! I finally got through and they told me I must accept or decline my offers by the activation date. I’m going to decline all my award offers b/c they’re just a bunch of loans, not even subsidized ones at that. I also asked them if when I click “Decline All” I’m declining all of my currently offered awards or future ones as well and the counselor told me no, just the ones showing on my online finaid package. Kind of obvious I guess, but I just wanted to be absolutely certain. Also, for anyone who’s worried about the activation date, your package won’t be automatically canceled, it might take a day or two.</p>

<p>Thank you for the information!</p>
