We wanted to share with you that effective with the 2007-2008 academic year, the Office of Financial Aid will no longer produce paper award letters for students who have attended at least one semester at the College.
Here’s why we have moved in this direction:
Your HomerConnect access in combination with the Office of Financial Aid website provides all the information you need to know about matters related to financial aid.
We have received very positive feedback from students using HomerConnect to get information about their financial aid – convenience, ease of navigation, real-time up to the minute accuracy of financial aid awards, and missing information needed to complete a financial aid package to name a few.
Sustainability – the College has many initiatives to reduce waste and conserve natural resources. By eliminating paper award letters we will be doing our part to avoid unnecessary waste and also save on printing and postage costs. Of course, you can print out your award information from HomerConnect, should you choose to do so.
If you apply for financial aid, you will receive an email notification to your Ithaca College email address, letting you know that your aid package is ready for you to review. You’ll also receive an email when we’ve revised your aid package and the reason for the changes to your aid.
Best wishes for a great summer, and be sure to check your Ithaca College email (or go directly to HomerConnect) over the summer so that you are aware of your financial aid status, in the event you apply for financial aid.
Sincerely,
Office of Financial Aid
