<p>I'm a continuing student but my fin aid decision still isn't out yet.
The bursar deadline passed a couple days ago...</p>
<p>I would call the fin aid office to make sure they have everything. I received mine at the end of July.</p>
<p>Are you saying you never got your fin aid award or that your fin aid loan hasn’t been disbursed to Cornell?</p>
<p>As long as everything is received before classes start, you should be okay.</p>
<p>Aid information should be in the student center barring any issues the financial aid office may have.</p>
<p>I have not received my fin aid decision. The fin aid office sent me an email a couple weeks ago confirming they have everything but they’re busy processing all the applications. Don’t know what’s taking them so long…</p>
<p>Don’t panic yet - my daughter has not had her financial aid come thru yet either. Did you have any special circumstances? We had a death in the family that I think delayed our decision. </p>
<p>I was advised by the bursar’s office to pay the bursar bill but to deduct last year’s financial aid from it so the payment would not be late. You may want to contact the bursar’s office.</p>
<p>My S has not gotten his package either. I keep calling them and they keep saying 2 more weeks. I just called Monday now that the bill is officially late and they said they would waive the late fee once we get the package. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I have a quick update on the financial aid situation. As I said in an earlier post, I contacted the bursar’s office and was advised when the August bill was due to deduct the amount of last year’s financial aid package and send in the balance. I did this and also sent a letter, explaining how I arrived at the remittance amount I sent. Didn’t hear a word. D moved in on the 16th, no problems, and still no financial aid. Today, D called in panic, her account has been put on hold. Tried to call fin aid, office customer service line closed for the day. D tried to call bursar, same thing, office closed for the day. </p>
<p>I am sure this will get sorted out sometime, just wanted to put everyone on alert that bursar is slapping kids with a hold on their account.</p>
<p>Another follow up to the nightmare that is financial aid this year. As I said earlier, d’s account put on hold. Supposedly they didn’t receive the 12 pages I faxed on the 15th of August. I refaxed them with the proof of sending that my fax machine spits out. I then followed up with another call to the financial aid office to make sure they received said documents, which they say they did. I was told it would take 2-3 weeks for the determination to come thru. Meanwhile, the Bursar’s office just told me that I will have late fees if the 27K bill is not paid in full by september. WHAT IS GOING ON CORNELL???</p>
<p>Is anyone else having these problems???</p>
