Missing Financial Aid Information

Colleges and Universities A-Z Emory University

<p>My noncustodial parent sent in his tax returns to Emory maybe three weeks ago. Since then I have received between five and ten emails from Emory regarding "Missing Financial Aid Information," stating that they are still missing my NCP's tax returns.</p>

<p>However, when I log into OPUS and look at the checklist, this line item is marked "Initiated," indicating that they have received the tax returns. It has been marked this way for a couple weeks.</p>

<p>Does anybody know what is going on, and how I can remedy the situation so that I may receive my financial aid package? Thanks guys.</p>

<p>I’m having the exact same problem, except I sent in the noncustodial parent waiver petition. They told me they have everything on file when I emailed them. I don’t know why they haven’t updated it in OPUS, but I really need to know about my financial aid award…</p>

<p>Initiated means that they have NOT received that item.</p>

<p>initiated could mean they either have not received it yet or they have not updated your info on opus. you should email them and ask</p>

<p>I should be pretty worried then, if they haven’t received it. My father told me he submitted his tax documents almost a month ago, so if they haven’t received it then where could it be?</p>

<p>Not knowing where important financial information like this is would not be a good situation.</p>

<p>I guess I should email Emory about it, then?</p>

<p>email them but it’s probably not missing. it’s probably just not updated on opus</p>

<p>Okay, I’ll do just that. Thanks.</p>

<p>Sorry, my post was misleading. I was trying to indicate that “initiated” did not indicate that the office had received the item; as pointed out by others, it indicates that the office has not received it, or they have received it and not updated OPUS yet.</p>

<p>Still says initiated, and I still get the communications. I also still haven’t received a response for the email I sent over a week ago.</p>

<p>Still initiated, still no response from them. Good thing I’m not planning on attending, as much as I love Emory.</p>
