Student ID

& AID YEAR:                 -"Student ID" represents the student's Social Security number, or in the case of foreign/national students, the JHU assigned ID# (899-xx-xxxx).

 

-"Aid Year" represents the academic year for which funds are being scheduled.  The Office of Student Financial Services uses the following naming convention:

 

            L002=2002 2003 academic year

           L003=2003 2004 academic year

            L004=2004-2005 academic year

 

-Since it will be possible to award funds in two different award years at anytime, it is important to enter the correct award year designation.

Financial Aid Calendar:

 

July:                             1st week of July, Fall bills are printed for all students.  All Graduate Aid must be scheduled on or before June 25, 2004 in order for it to appear as an anticipated credit against Fall semester tuition charges—or to suppress a bill for student’s receiving 100% tuition support.

 

September:                  Fall aid will credit individual student accounts.  After the initial Fall payment (10 days prior to the start of classes), new or unpaid Fall transactions will occur every Tuesday and Thursday night.

 

December:                   1st week of December, Spring bills are printed for all students, showing anticipated Spring semester aid as a credit against Spring semester  tuition charges.

 

January:                      Spring aid will credit individual student accounts.  After the initial Spring payment (10 days prior to the start of classes), transactions will occur every Tuesday and Thursday night.

 

Monthly:                       The Office of Student Accounts will update the CUFS accounting system weekly.

TIPS

 

  • When making revisions to the AMOUNT of a student's award prior to payment, i.e., before 8/31/2004, you do not need to use a second Award Id.  Simply modify the dollar amounts in both the Fall and Spring semesters, and submit the change.
  • Anytime you are changing the BUDGET NUMBER, you will always have to "zero" out the original amounts, and re-award the funds using an alternate Award Id.
  • ENGINEERING departments do not need to enter a budget number for Tuition support from Dean's Funds, as there is only one account number and it is "hard-coded" in the system.
  • NEVER use an AwardID that does not appear on the chart.  While the system may accept the award, the funds will never pay to the student, and will require error correction efforts.
