Accepting Aid is a 2-Step Process

  1. Terms and Conditions (Tab 4) Review and accept (must be done first)
  2. Accept Award Offer (Tab 5)
    • Accept full amount of awards (at bottom of award)
    • Decline your award (to prevent further reminders)
    • Accept a Portion of the offered aid. Select Accept from the drop-down box and enter in Accept Partial Amount field.
      • If you accept a partial amount, the loan will be split evenly over the terms it has been awarded. Email Student Financial Services in writing if you want an uneven split to the loan. Loan requests cannot exceed semester thresholds.

First Time Recipients

If this is your first time receiving federal financial aid at UNE, there are additional requirements:

Title IV Authorization

  • Go to Resources/Additional Information (Tab 3)
  • Read the paragraph under Additional Information.
  • Answer, “Do you authorize UNE to apply Title IV funds to non-educational charges?” 
  • Choose Authorize or DeclineClick Submit.

Federal Requirements

  • Go to studentloans.gov. Choose what type of student you are.
  • Complete Entrance Counseling.
  • Complete Master Promissory Note for each type of loan borrowed (i.e. Direct and PLUS)

For Endorsed PLUS Loans

The Borrower must complete PLUS Credit Counseling (in addition to Entrance Counseling). A separate MPN must be completed if multiple PLUS loans exist for the academic year.

Title IV Authorization

Title IV Authorization means students must “authorize” the University to apply federal financial aid funding to non-educational charges on their bill. We’ll need you to make a decision on this and complete the requirement on U-Online.
