Students
can begin submitting required financial aid forms in
January. What happens next depends on when you
submitted your forms and the general timeline of
financial aid. As we receive your forms, we will log
them into our financial aid system. You can check to
see if we have received all of the required forms by
logging onto
Check Your Aid Link.
If you have problems logging in please review these
instructions.
You can continue to check this link to view the

| In early
March, we begin to certify loans. If all of your
forms are submitted and complete, you can expect to
receive an award letter about your loans from us
before the end of March. The award letter will be
delivered via e-mail to your Ohio University OAK
account, so it is your responsibility to check your
OAK e-mail on a regular basis. Many other
important announcements will be sent to your OAK
e-mail account so you should make it a habit to
check it often. It is also important that you DO NOT
set up your OAK e-mail account to forward to any
other personal e-mail you may have (such as hotmail,
yahoo, etc). Microsoft will not guarantee delivery
of Ohio University OAK e-mail to your personal web
based e-mail accounts. |

|
It is our policy to
certify loans for you at the maximum amount
available. We will outline this amount in the award
letter that we send and the award letter will tell
you the steps that you need to take to decide how
much of the loan to accept and then to direct you
about how to complete the loan process. |

Important Note - We do
not award OU-HCOM Institutional Scholarships until
June, so if you applied for a scholarship, don’t
expect to hear whether you have been awarded a
scholarship until late June. In late June, we will
contact all students who applied for a scholarship
to let them know the outcome of their scholarship
application. |

Educational
Budget – the student budget is one of the
factors that determines the limit of your financial
aid package. Click here to view the costs of
education at OU-HCOM. |

What are my
options if I need more money? – for many students, the Stafford
loans, with their annual limits, are not enough to
cover the entire cost of education at OU-HCOM. For
those students who need to borrow the maximum
amount, click here to view other loan programs
available. |

Direct Deposit
Form – each quarter, financial aid
funds (loans & scholarships) are delivered by
electronic funds transfer to the bursar’s office at
Ohio University. These funds are used to pay your
current quarter charges, which include tuition,
fees, health insurance and other expenses (parking
tickets, health center visits, etc). The remaining
funds are mailed to you at the beginning of the
quarter in the form of an “overage check” to be used
for personal expenses (rent, food, transportation,
books & equipment, etc). We highly recommend that
you use this link to arrange to have your overage
amount directly deposited into your personal banking
account. Funds are direct deposited on a nightly
basis so using direct deposit will insure that you
receive you overage amount in the fasted possible
time. Overage checks that are sent by mail are only
sent on one day each week and can be misrouted if
your address information is not correct. |
