When's the deadline to accept financial aid?

<p>Maybe this is a stupid question, but why when do we need to accept financial aid?</p>

<p>As soon as you know you need it? You have a ridiculously long time to make adjustments to it -- all the way until the end of the term you were awarded for (which likely means May 15, 2009) -- but since they guarantee University Grants to continuing students who get their documentation in by July 15th, I'd imagine you want to do it before then so that they don't start readjusting your aid and divying up your apparently unwanted and unclaimed grants to students who applied late.</p>

<p>how do we accept it?</p>
