Student Responsibility
 
The Financial Aid Office is committed to making its many services easily accessible. The myriad forms, loan applications, and promissory notes may sometimes seem endless and confusing, but with careful attention to instructions the frustration can be minimized. We urge you to heed the following advice.

The written word is the primary mode of communication at the Museum School. It is your responsibility to carefully read and act upon all correspondence sent by the Office of Financial Aid. Should any aspect of a message or document seem unclear, you are encouraged to visit or call the office for clarification.

During the school year, all general mail from the Office of Financial Aid is sent to your campus mailbox, not your home address. Therefore, you are encouraged to check your mailbox daily. If you collect your mail infrequently, you might find that important deadlines have been missed and opportunities lost.

Finally, it is vital that you keep the Office of Financial Aid informed of any change of name, local or permanent address, telephone number, and e-mail address. This is especially true during the summer months when numerous items, such as award letters, are sent out. Misdirected mail can have serious consequences for your financial aid.

Remember: Students who fail to stay informed or carefully follow all instructions may lose all or part of their financial aid award. The Office of Financial Aid will not accept responsibility for any such losses that occur due to negligence on the part of the student.
