Financial aid said call admissions, admissions said it’s same log in info as Green Wave, but that doesn’t appear to be true. Any suggestions?
Hey! I actually have the same issue as you right now. I contacted my regional representative and she luckily replied super fast. She told me that she contacted both Financial Aid and Tech Services Departments at Tulane and discovered that because of the vast amounts of applications in the last several weeks (ED & EA deadlines), that the system is slowing down by getting them out. ALSO, she said that only students who have applied for financial aid currently will be getting access to the Gibson Portal. If you did not, then you will be receiving the email with access to the Gibson Portal AFTER acceptance. Lastly, she said that if I did apply Financial Aid and I hadn’t received it by now then to contact your regional Financial Aid counselor and further explain the issue. They can assist with getting it to you.
Thank you. I called Financial Aid today, and they said you won’t get that portal until after you’re accepted. That sounds different that what you were told??
That sounds about right. It may be different than what I was told because I did not sign up for the financial aid program at Tulane when applying and my regional admissions officer was aware of that. My processes of getting access to the Gibson Portal will be different than yours because of this. Also, talking directly with the financial aid counselors at Tulane is probably the most accurate answer you’ll get ahead of mine because I only spoke with my regional admission’s officer, NOT the financial aid counselors.
Based on a call I just made, my understanding is that if you applied for financial aid, you will get access to the Gibson Portal, but you won’t see any financial details on the portal until/unless you are accepted. My D can access the Gibson Portal but only a newsfeed is shown.
