The financial Aid page

<p>Is anyone able to access their Financial Aid page? I can't. I was fairly certain we could access it on Dec. 1</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s not showing anything for me either - they said info would be available AFTER the 1st. I get the impression that they meant they will put stuff up possibly starting today, but definitely AFTER today. It was the same thing with admissions tracking - it wasn’t ready on the 10th. In fact, I don’t think I could get to mine until the 12th. So just wait it out for a few days.</p>

<p>Actually, they just emailed me saying that I can check now, telling me what I’ve turned in, and also telling me that…they haven’t recieved my PROFILE…despite the fact I turned it in and got a receipt on Nov. 7th.</p>

<p>Same here. Just got the email. They said I didn’t send the tax returns but I know they were sent long ago. As if my worries were little before…</p>

<p>I still didn’t get an e-mail. Perhaps that’s because I emailed yesterday and told them I would like to dorm instead of living with my parents like I had originally said. So I’m guessing they are reevaluating my financial aid.</p>

<p>@anthon: You don’t have much to worry about in terms of being admitted. Your financial aid info shouldn’t affect your decision.</p>

<p>@Silence1113. Yes it would for me.</p>

<p>I just received my e-mail, but I still can’t access my account. And there are a couple of errors with my things too. </p>

<p>Urgent question to you guys: Do your e-mails include this line:
"As an international student if your parents are divorced, seperated or never married, your Non Custodial parent must complete and submit the International Student Financial Aid Application which can be downloaded from, <a href="http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/finaid/webfm_send/36"&gt;http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/finaid/webfm_send/36&lt;/a&gt;"?&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Because I am NOT an international student.</p>

<p>I can’t get to my account either. But I didn’t get that bit about international students in the email - but then again, they didn’t even get my Profile yet, so who knows? I doubt it’s that big of a deal.</p>

<p>@Delaluna: Woah!! That’s something serious. I would advise you to call them ASAP tomorrow.</p>

<p>I didn’t get an e-mail yet, so I can’t be of much help to you.</p>

<p>Ok, I’m freaked out. My parents are separated, which is why I suppose they’re mentioning the Non Custodial profile thing, but I’m not an international. And they know that! I mean, the e-mail’s header states my location! Definitely calling tomorrow.</p>

<p>So the e-mails have an estimate of how much FA you get if accepted?</p>

<p>No, they just tell you what information Columbia has received.</p>

<p>On the email, they said.</p>

<p>“We are happy to inform you that at this time your financial aid application is complete.”</p>

<p>I go to check the status, and it says.</p>

<p>“We are unable to activate your account. Please contact your financial aid office and refer to Code IA.”</p>

<p>Anyone else having this trouble??</p>

<p>^^^Well at least you got an email. :P</p>

<p>I have neither so far =/</p>

<p>I have found their email in my spam just now, and it is crazy!! They want my mom’s tax return when I sent her ‘non-filer’ form along with my other stuff. She does not work, fgs!! </p>

<p>This looks bad. I mean, I had to send a few documents ‘the second time’ to the admissions office too, including school transcripts, cause they misplaced them, obviousy! And now this! What is wrong with them? I still have eight supplements to work on, plus school work. Can’t they work right?</p>

<p>@ColumbianCoffee: Guess what? I just received the e-mail. They said:</p>

<p>“We are happy to inform you that at this time your financial aid application is complete.”</p>

<p>But I cannot log in to the financial aid page >_<</p>

<p>I guess we’ll have to call them tomorrow.</p>

<p>Just got mine. Nothing out of the ordinary. I just need to complete the FAFSA in January for them if I’m admitted.</p>

<p>^^^Were you able to log in?</p>

<p>I was not, but I didn’t get any crazy messages as others who have seemed to have… I’m hopeful login will work tomorrow.</p>

<p>^^^Yeah, Im like you.</p>
