<p>If you are accepted to UNC-CH, you need to create your Onyen. I just did and then logged in again to CarolinaConnect using my new Onyen id. and then found a new section titled Finances.</p>
<p>^ how did you create the onyen?</p>
<p>…why must they make this so complicated? There’s nothing about the onyen thing on the acceptance letter.</p>
<p>EDIT: I just tried to sign up for one and it said that based on my ID I wasn’t authorized to have an onyen account.</p>
<p>okay. so my aid package looks like this…~3300 subsidized loan, ~11,300 institutional grant. what exactly is a grant? is that a fancy word for a scholarship (which would be effing AWESOME UNBELIEVABLE GWAHAHAHAHAHAHAERTHAWIOERTNASDOIGNBINODCBOIMADVSMADFSMOOIGTSONDSFINOGFINOADFS EXCITING) or do i have to pay that back later at some point?</p>
<p>Grants are not repaid. Loans are.</p>
<p>Still frustrated that our package is still not up. RD applicants have them and as an ED applicant we are still waiting. Patience is difficult.</p>
<p>riogemini, that is very strange. Myself, I’m a RD applicant, and they have given me absolutely no emails, letters, and I still can’t view my financial aid on the financial aid section on ConnectCarolina. At this point I’m just really anxious because I want this to be affordable!</p>
<p>same here, i created my onyen right after i found out i was accepted on march 18th and i have yet to recieve any e-mails from UNC about anything, much less my financial aid. all of the other schools i applied to have chosen me for verification. will UNC do this as well, or do they just go ahead and use the FAFSA and CSS to award aid? if i’m going to have to mail in a copy of taxes and W-2’s and such i would like to go ahead and get that overwith…my financial aid is the determining factor of whether or not i will be a tarheel :(</p>
<p>Im in and I don’t have an Aid tab =(</p>
<p>I’m an RD applicant and don’t have a “Finances” tab either. Does anyone else still have an item for Financial Aid under their “To-Do List” on the right side of the Student Center? Mine has an item called “Loan Entrance Conf - Sub/Unsub.” What is it and is that why I can’t see my financial aid package?</p>
<p>We finally have access to our package! I have to say we were pleasantly surprised. My S will officially become a Tar Heel thanks to our package. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I have this too… but I’ve never heard of it before. It says it’s a counseling session?</p>
<p>Ok so I figured out why we couldn’t access our finance tabs. We didn’t register for our new onyen’s. You have to go to onyen.unc.edu and then click on the “Create an ONYEN” button. Then enter your information and that is how you receive your university email as well.</p>
