Managing Your Award

Once you have been notified that you have been awarded aid, it is your responsibility to become familiar with the different types of aid you are offered, and to accept or decline the awards. 

If you have been offered a Stafford Loan, you must accept this award on your MyPima account.  After accepting your loan(s) you must complete an online entrance counseling and a Master Promissory Note.  Both are available through your MyPima account, Financial Aid tab.  As a loan recipient, you are required to attend entrance and exit counseling sessions to be sure that you understand the rules associated with your loan.

If at any time you decide to decrease your enrollment, you should contact a campus financial aid department to discuss how this decrease may effect your aid.  You may have to pay aid back if you decrease your credit level below the number of hours that you were funded to attend.  Dropping courses, withdrawing, and failing courses all have a negative impact on your aid eligibility.
