<p>Alright, so I activated my NetID account (which hopefully isn't binding), made a NU email, and logged into CAESAR. To view NU's offer do I look at "View Financial Aid", or should it show up under "Accept/Decline Financial Aid"?</p>

<p>Under "View Financial Aid" I only have the generic work study and loans, which could potentially be a huge problem for me. However, under "Accept/Decline Financial Aid" I receive the message: Award access not available. Does this mean they haven't figured out my financial aid yet?</p>

<p>I think maybe the issue is that since you haven’t committed, you can’t accept or decline offers. I’m pretty sure what you see in “View Financial Aid” is what you get.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you’re right. I’m officially screwed.</p>

<p>My grant/scholarship money was until the view financial aid section. What’s your efc, if you don’t mind me asking?</p>

<p>Long story short, I think they’re including my dad in my efc, but he honestly doesn’t contribute anything.</p>
