A "NODISB" tracking code has been posted for 288 students whose fall award did not pay out before Dec 15, 2016 (last official fall school day).  This NODISB will only prevent the fall portion of the award to not disburse, spring awards are ok. 

After Spring Census, if the student is enrolled will the NODISBs then be lifted and let the fall portion pay out.  If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.

Financial Aid SAP has been calculated for Students who wer enrolled Summer 2.  If a student was on 'warning status or an approved appeal "Academic Plan" and they met the conditions to continue with financial aid their disbursement hold has been cleared and their aid now shows "PAID".

In preparation for summer awarding, we need to identify any and all students who may have received Pell and/or Direct Loans at another school during 2015-2016.

Students who have been identified as transfers or potential transfers during this 2015-2016 year have gone through the Transfer Monitoring process in Banner. Through this process for checking the eligibility of transfer students, we are not able to disburse federal aid to those students. the hold gets removed automatically after seven days.

The file was sent today, therefore the ROAHOLD is from 03/29/16 thru 04/05/2016.

Hello ,

The reservation system for EF's is now open. Mayra and Roger are working on sending out the postcards to the students with the instructions to reserve.

Things are a little different this year. All admitted students are eligible to reserve and attend an orientation, however, they will not be able to register until we have received all 3TSI test scores (English, Writing, and Math) or proof of exemption.

Steps for reserving a seat:

* log on to my.utrgv.edu and click on ASSIST. Students will need their username and password.

* Have them verify or update their contact information.

* On the Admission tab, select the Orientation Reservation sytem link to select sessions.

* An email confirming orientation date will be sent once form is complete.

Good Afternoon,

Would like to inform you that effective with the new student orientation cycle that will be starting new entering freshmen and new tranfer students who have been admitted will be reflecting an AO hold in SOAHOLD. This hold will prevent students from registering courses, in order for this hold to be released students will need to first attend a student orientation. The phone numbers displayed in the hold pertain to the orientation office in brownsville and in edinburg.

Example of when the holds will be released; after check-in during the morning of the orientation date students will be flagged as having attended orientation in GEATTID under either A0193 (entering Freshmen) or A0194(transfer) with a check mark indicator in the attend column. ONce this indicator has been populated those students with this indicator will have their hold released before their registration session begins.

Thanks,

Brenda

Hello all,

We have move our Tracking process to begin selecting summer start students for verification beginning this weekend. What this means is that students beginning in Summer 1 and Summer 2 and who are admitted should be analyzed. If they meet the verification requirements, they will get selected for verification.

This is in preparation for our summer awarding process. Our target deadline for awarding is in April but we will keep you all posted. if we complete the task earlier.

If you have any questions please see a member of the Financial Aid Team .

Thank you,

Aida P.
