Checklist

When Receiving an Offer of Financial Assistance

To ensure prompt and accurate completion of your financial aid file, use this checklist.

  • Read your Offer of Financial Assistance carefully. You will receive just one initial paper offer while receiving financial aid at SPU. The most current Offer is available in Banner.


  • Respond immediately to any notice of missing documents, which may be listed at the bottom of your Offer of Financial Assistance or in Banner.
  • Contact SFS if you wish to reduce, modify, or cancel all or part of your financial aid, change your enrollment status, or make other changes affecting your cost of attendance.
  • If you plan to borrow a Stafford Loan at SPU, you must complete (only once) a Master Stafford Lender Selection form, a loan counseling session, and a Master Promissory Note. See loan counseling and general loan information.
