Course registration and housing

<p>Have any ED students received their packets in the mail? Will any of them have housing info and class descriptions, etc.?</p>

<p>I haven’t received my packet yet either. Also, does anyone know for sure whether it will contain financial aid information?</p>

<p>Last year there was a folder with an acceptance letter, your netid and temporary password, your email account, and another envelope with a slip asking for the tuition and housing deposit.</p>

<p>aabbcc1789, if that’s the case, when did you receive financial aid info? Unfortunately, the amount of financial aid will be an important factor determining whether or not I can commit.</p>

<p>were we supposed to already have applied for FA? or is it too late? btw good luck Toward</p>

<p>You are able to set up your e-mail account, but pretty much nothing else thus far. Our financial aid packages are a separate piece of mail completely that should be coming in, at the most, two or three weeks. I even tried to check the package on CAESAR, but it said it was not ready yet. So we must wait=[</p>

<p>Thanks! I’ll need it. Does anyone have a more informed estimate about when that should be coming in?</p>

<p>@freightrain–you were supposed to have filed the CSS PROFILE by about Dec. 1, I believe.</p>

<p>yeah, i got the packet today…
it just had the acceptance letter and our NetID login and password…all we could do online is set up the account and make our NU email address, then we have to wait 24 hours to be able to access the other stuff (CAESAR, etc)…
FinAid is separate, and we request housing in May</p>

<p>You won’t be getting to register until you get to campus (though feel free to browse the course catalog now- the fall courses for next fall wont be up until spring though). You likewise will not get housing forms until summer. But feel free to research it and obsess now.</p>

<p>I still havent gotten anything in the mail…?</p>

<p>I haven’t either and I only live an hour and a half away from Evanston</p>

<p>Ugh… I really need to hear about FinAid… I’m so scared it’s not gonna be enough :(</p>

<p>After you get your NetID, you can log in to CAESAR and view your finaid info.</p>

<p>Yes go check your CAESAR because FinAid info was up for me yesterday. I set up my account on there Wednesday and I checked it again yesterday under the “View Financial Aid” part. It will tell you if you got any scholarships, what kind of loans you can get, and what the expected family contribution will be. (Also, I think someone mentioned that it tells you if you get can do work study? I’m not sure because it didn’t say I had to do work study anywhere on my FinAid page)</p>

<p>Ya I got it from Ceasar. Northwestern is very generous…
I got no loans</p>
