<p>D got accepted 2 weeks ago, but still no financial aid email. Anyone else in the same boat? getting a little worried...</p>
<p>I think our kids got accepted the same time and our FA email came earlier this week.</p>
<p>If you are worried it’s worth a phone call.</p>
<p>I had called twice and they say they have all the info they need; however my FA counselor is never available. Just called and was told same thing. This time I left a voice message for that counselor which I hadn’t done before cause I don’t want to be a bother! Just worried because FA emails were supposed to be received a week after the admit, and maybe the counselor needs something that won’t show up on the computer.</p>
<p>I can see why you would be worried-they are usually so responsive.</p>
<p>OK we got the email today! The package was a little better than I thought. Merit, Pell, Fed SOP, Staffords, UR Grant, and need to get Parent Plus loans for the rest. No mention of work study though. I don’t know if I should bring that up, would it just reduce aid somewhere else? D says she doesn’t care if she has to pay loans off the rest of her life, this is where she wants to go!</p>
<p>Personally, I wouldn’t worry about the work-study. Let it go. W/S jobs are not guaranteed. The student still has to apply and get hired. And may or may not earn the full award since that’s dependent on her hours and the job.</p>
<p>UR has plenty of non-W/S jobs available on campus if your D would like to earn some $$ to help defray her personal expenses. Have her check on the job board at the career center. (It’s an electronic BB available once she has a UR ID and password.) </p>
<p>There is also usually a job fair early during the school year also.</p>
<p>Thanks WOWM!</p>
<p>So does financial aid info follow admissions letter by a couple of weeks? D received admission packet today. When should we expect to hear on FA?</p>
<p>What is the email address from which the financial letters come?</p>
<p>raevsky, you can also view the financial aid and other grants by logging into your FAOnline account.</p>
<p>Is there a set date by which UofR expects to have sent all of their financial aid notifications? I’ve been accepted for around two weeks and I’m getting slightly worried.</p>
<p>In order to view it I need to know student id, that was supposed to come in that email only. I do not have it, neither student id, nor financial letters</p>
<p>A simple call to the Financial Aid Office can solve your problems.</p>
<p>Their number is 585-275-3226, or you can call toll free at 800-881-8234</p>
<p>Nope. Maybe it could, but it does not. They say it will come by regular mail shortly, with the admission package. But they do not know when exactly.
Does it mean nobody got the email? I conclude that because nobody answers my question - a very simple one indeed.</p>
<p>Raevsky - just want you to know that you are not the only one waiting. We have called the financial aid office twice. We have been told that the log in info. will be sent to us by email. Based on the 7-10 business day timeline, it should have arrived on Monday or Tuesday of this week. We are still waiting.</p>
<p>Does anybody know from which email address? I just want to make sure it is not on the block list. Looks like a lot of people got emails, but nobody shares the email address.
I am afraid it was in fact sent to your email, just was not delivered.</p>
<p>Thank you for the thought raevsky. We have checked and it’s not that it’s blocked. We just haven’t gotten any email from Rochester. When we called we were told that the package had been put together a little more than a week ago and that it was waiting to be processed for purposes of sending out an email to us. The person we spoke to said that they follow a strict process and that the log in information could not be provided in any other way than the email that would be forthcoming.</p>
<p>They told it was originally sent by email in the beginning of March. They resent it several days ago. None of those two was delivered.
When you say it’s not blocked, do you mean nothing is on your block list?
There is also an exception list, but you need to know the email address to add it there.</p>
<p>D’s financial aid award notification came from this email address:
<a href=“mailto:FAOnlineAtUR@rochester.edu”>FAOnlineAtUR@rochester.edu</a>
Don’t know if they all come from that address or not. </p>
<p>Call and verify who your counselor is. I say this because the one listed on the website for our last name is not our correct counselor. Then you can use this site to get the email address of your counselor: </p>
<p><a href=“http://enrollment.rochester.edu/financial/officeinfo.shtm[/url]”>http://enrollment.rochester.edu/financial/officeinfo.shtm</a></p>
<p>I was able to change the email address and the package was delivered successfully.
The strange thing is that another email from the same address <a href=“mailto:FAOnlineAtUR@rochester.edu”>FAOnlineAtUR@rochester.edu</a> had been delivered OK to the old email account, but not the financial package. They tried to deliver financial package twice to the old account, both times unsuccessfully, and they succeeded after email was changed to a new one.</p>
