October 18, 2002 Pye on Campus The Lion's Eye Page 3 By SHAWN PETTIT Lion's Eye Assistant Editor ['s Penn State Delco students are already aware of the recent substantial tuition hike, but officials say many aren't aware of the registration policies, and what they need to do to pay for their tuition if they receive financial aid. According to Financial Aid Officer Sylvia Schaffer, students must make sure that they register and pay their first bill immediately, or their classes will be canceled. "Most students don't read the e-mails that they get ‘from the school,” said Schaffer. "(A lot of people) miss their registration dates and don't get important scholarship and loan information because they don't check e-mail from the school." : The policy of canceling classes of students in arrears on tuition payments will be in effect at the beginning of every semester, Schaffer said. "(The policy) won't be that big of a deal at the begin- ning of the spring semester, but everyone needs to be aware of this and must register right away," Schaffer said. The registration process can be completed at the Registration Office in the Main Building or online through the eLion Web site. Although there are no new scholarships open to Penn That increased tuition Is due ... now State students, Schaffer says that students receiving the Stafford loan must turn in their promissary note, which completes the application process, to receive any of their loan money. "Students must complete all their paperwork to get the money they need," said Schaffer. "That includes their application for federal student aid.” | To apply for federal aid, students can receive the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, online at http://www.fafsa.edu.
