Upon accepting a loan, a Promissory Note will be sent to you outlining the loan contract. You should sign the note and return it to the financial aid office if you want the loan. You may accept a smaller loan amount than you were offered. A revised Award Offer is mailed to you outlining the adjustments. All financial aid funds are posted to students' bills approximately one month before classes begin for registered students.
Refunds are available approximately three days before classes begin.
Some scholarships are automatically awarded during the financial aid application process. Others require a separate application. The deadline for most 2000-2001 scholarships is March 1. Some scholarships, however, may have earlier deadlines. For specific information, see the Financial Aid and Scholarship Guide for Freshman and Transfer Students or the Guide to CU-Boulder Scholarships for continuing students available from the financial aid office.
