Does anyone know how to access the financial aid? I applied for both CSS and FAFSA and MYROC said that they received all the necessary documents for it, but I can’t seem to access the financial aid portal. It says that we need our student id(searched through all emails and MYROC - never found it) to create a log in with an ID that will be provided through our financial aid counselor (no clue who mine is and where to find them) and view the financial aid status. Can someone who managed to access their aid please tell how to access their portal? (btw i got accepted through regular decision but i think that was already implied)
@thisgirlcodes Oh, huh. That’s kinda weird.
@Maneighnah717 what is the URL for the financial aid portal? Btw packages won’t be notified until later… A friend of mine called the Financial Aid Office. For internationals at least, she was told they were going to be notified in 1-2 weeks
is there a U rochester 2021 groupme?
@helloit https://faonline.rochester.edu/logon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fPgHome.aspx is the URL i believe. I’m not international but I’m not in-state either. Do you know if financial aid packages are sent via email or through the portal? Either way think you need a student ID to know your aid status.
@Maneighnah717 currently doing my research haha. I’ll let you know as soon as I find out
@Maneighnah717 done haha! A girl from my school received an email with the necessary information to login to the financial aid portal around a week after she was accepted.
They send a email which asks to check out their portal.
Hello guys,
I just got accepted into U of R. I am an international student and have asked for a lot of financial aid. Will the university cover all the demonstrated need?
@Pokatinus u should check FAOnline - a place where u can check your financial aid disclosure.

Online interviewed w/ an admission counselor (prob what got me in)
I sent an email to the admission counselor who requested to interview with me to ask about merit scholarship, finaid info. I’ll let you guys know what she says.
Does Rochester has a good engineering program and school.
Does Rochester send out a “big envelope”? My daughter was accepted March 8. She was also accepted to Northeastern’s Honors program and they are doing the hard sell…emails and mailings. I think Rochester could do a better job of marketing themselves.
@Smartisan5 I’m kind of wondering the same thing but I’ve heard very good things about their engineering and science departments, especially biomedical engineering
Accepted
SAT : 1440/1600
GPA : 3.88
Interviewed online and it went pretty good, probably what got me in.
@Delusion707 dude congrats!!! I did an interview as well and I also think that’s what got me in. So are you thinking about going to UofR?
Guys, I got accepted to Hamilton college, Colgate university, and U of Rochester, they are all my top choices, I want to major in engineer, so which school would be the best for me to be in the field of engineering.
Applicants who got accepted weeks ago. Did you guys receive anything though the mail from U of R?
@Homeostasis101 Yes, S received a copy of acceptance letter, with an ‘admissions reply’ form and a ‘welcome’ booklet (mostly colorful marketing) with some very basic info re visiting, orientation, etc.
Merit showed up on admissions portal ~1 week after acceptance.
Financial Aid info arrived ~ a week after that, with an email directing him to the FA site, with a new student ID code needed to access (not provided on admissions portal).
@WhataProcess HI! So If I was accepted this friday, should I know about the financial aid by the 31? BTW do you happen to know what’s the cost of enrolling at UofR? I’m referring to the payment that has to be done by May 1st
