<p>I had a bunch of errors yesterday and help desk had to walk me through it. The whole system seems really buggy. Half the time I get an error in at least one of the sections on the portal. Either it’s not found or a ‘break in attempt’. Just try to be patient. It’ll come eventually.</p>
<p>does anyone know where i would mail/email the letter of appeal?</p>
<p>Not a clue… Maybe the general admissions address from the website? Or even that dropbox they have? I don’t know.</p>
<p>anyone know what the “Survery” is? i set up my account with my LIN and PIN and im supposed to do some sort of survey…?</p>
<p>NVM new question: what is the BANNER ICON?!?!?!?</p>
<p>Banner houses stuff like student services, work study timesheets, different things like class registration and housing stuff, among other things.</p>
<p>I wondered that myself. It says click ‘here’ or the banner icon. Good thing it doesn’t just say to click the banner icon or I’d be lost!</p>
<p>Banner Icon is on upper right of the main portal page - it is a circle with a basket weave pattern in it. Surveys can be found under the Banner Icon in the Personal Information section. The Banner houses many links you will need from registration to financial aid status.</p>
<p>Anyone get their FA yet? Every week I call and every week they say next week. This is starting to get old.</p>
<p>I got mine a while ago, haha. I forgot to post about it here. I got in in the mail before the portal stopped giving me errors. I can access it online now, though. I would definitely call them again. My FA package was pretty good… only plausible one so far (ugh UVa and W&M suck 
The state of Virginia is officially on my list).</p>
<p>YAY! Lehigh gave me great FA. Love them. See you next year maybe?!</p>
<p>Im so jealous! Im still getting the run around. Still call every week and still get told to wait til next week!</p>
<p>Alright, nevermind, just got the award letter. It’s incredibly bad.</p>
<p>All they gave me was 4k in pell, 10k in direct sub/unsub loans and 2k in workstudy. I thought lehigh was supposed to have good FA. I gotta say I’m incredibly disappointed. This is really bad. My efc is 1k so I have a gap of about 37k!</p>
<p>that’s crazy! I got the majority of it in grants I’m really sorry :(</p>
<p>This is crazy. I will talk to them on Monday in case there’s been a mistake but I’m not going to get my hopes up. It says on their website under transfer financial aid that there are no loans for people under a certain income but the majority of my ‘package’, if you can call it that, are loans. I had all my paperwork in by February so I really don’t understand. Honestly, I was expecting Lehigh to be competitive for the best FA package not by far the worst.</p>
<p>Are you still planning on attending? And yes-def call them!</p>
<p>There’s no way I can pay more than 30k out of pocket. I got really good FA from other schools so if Lehigh doesn’t work out I’ll be set. The supposed no loan thing was attractive though.</p>
<p>That’s so odd! My FA package was great. But my family income was below $50,000, and I still had loans also. I noticed that it said no loans to meet your EFC, though, so that may be it for me. I don’t know about your situation because that wouldn’t make sense. I’d definitely give them a call.</p>
<p>edit…</p>
