<p>I can't set up my NetID, either! It says "Wrong activation code/PIN entered."</p>
<p>Does activation code mean the Activation PIN they give you, or the Application ID Code that was emailed to us a couple months ago? Neither one is working for me :(</p>
<p>It should be the activation code. Make sure you're not using the one for CAESAR (or whichever one the middle one is). Try directly copying and pasting it.</p>
<p>thanks djin44...it worked :)</p>
<p>Yes, it should be the PIN they give you on the first page. Try typing it in, that worked for me, because my PIN contained an asterisk.</p>
<p>dstevens - that happened to me the first time, but the second time I clicked on it, it went right through. No idea, as to why that was though.</p>
<p>In the little box it has NetID, EmplID, and Activation PIN. I was using Activation PIN, and I was copy/pasting.</p>
<p>:( Any more ideas?</p>
<p>Kristina, don't copy and paste, try typing directly in</p>
<p>Don't copy and paste. Enter it manually.</p>
<p>Kristina - if you still can't get it to work, you should e-mail somebody. That's gotta be really frustrating.</p>
<p>As far as this stupid financial aid thing goes, I guess I'll keep trying on and off. djin44 - did you create an e-mail account, etc? I only activated my netID.</p>
<p>THANKS tennisgirl. That worked :)</p>
<p>dstevens, I'm also getting the "Inquiry access denied" for the 2009 year thing. Any ideas on why that's happening?</p>
<p>I'm thinking that either A) it's not up for us yet or B) we're forgetting a step. I created my email address but under Contact Info on CAESAR it still says "none."
Things might be moving slowly in general. Let me know if you find anything out!</p>
<p>OK, cool.</p>
<p>financial aid on CAESAR worked for me....unfortunately because I found out that:</p>
<p>Northwestern financial aid SUCKS. Like their family contribution is $9,000 higher than my other schools'...</p>
<p>Really? What have you done so far besides register your NetID?</p>
<p>dstevens, if that question was for me, all I've done was register for NetID and logged into the CAESAR to view Northwestern's financial aid offer (click on the link that says something like "View Financial Aid" on the homepage of CAESAR)</p>
<p>then there's a button you click that can generate your financial aid letter, which will then list the breakdown for the financial aid and the family contribution</p>
<p>tennisgirl08 - I clicked "View Financial Aid" in CAESAR and I don't see a button...all I have is a blue/gray table saying:</p>
<p>Aid Year: 2009
Institution: Northwestern University
Aid Year Description: Inquiry Access Denied
"Aid years listed indicate your access to eligibility information regarding your Financial Aid Application."</p>
<p>Unless my specific information isn't ready yet...</p>
<p>My Daughter is going through this as well. She went through the entire thing and there is nothing there.</p>
<p>hmm you should contact them about that and ask. maybe it's because your offer isn't ready yet? I submitted all my financial aid materials the first week of February...</p>
<p>Yeah I have the inquiry access denied thing as well.</p>
