Why Should I Review My Anticipated Financial Aid?
If you are awarded financial aid before the semester begins, your award will be based on anticipated full-time enrollment in at least 12 eligible credits. If you choose to enroll in less than 12 eligible credits, your financial aid award may be adjusted. Please follow the steps below to learn how to view your financial aid based on your current enrollment.
How to View the Anticipated Financial Aid
- Log in to myNOVA.
- Click on SIS: Student Information System.
- Click on the Financial Aid tile.
- Under the Pending Financial Aid section click on “CLICK HERE to see Pending Financial Aid Based on Enrollment".
- Your Anticipated Aid Based on Actual Enrollment will be calculated and shown on this screen.
Important Notes
- If your pending financial aid is less than your total charges, pay the remaining balance or enroll in the payment plan by the payment deadline to avoid potentially being dropped for non-payment.
- Courses that do not apply to your degree or certificate are not eligible for financial aid and are not included in the pending financial aid calculation.
- Pending financial aid will not be credited to your account and reduce the total due shown on your account until it is disbursed. This typically occurs approximately 2-3 weeks after the term census date if you have attended at least 6 eligible credits past the session census date and assuming you do not have any holds or incomplete items on your myNOVA To Do List that prevent disbursement.
