2. Responding to the Aid Offer

Responding to the Financial Aid Package Notification

A student can review their financial aid package by logging into their my.UChicago portal. The financial assistance offered is itemized in the My Financial Aid section. Once the student is ready to sign and accept, reduce, or decline the aid offered, they should navigate to the “Accept/Decline Financial Aid” page.

Note - Students are unable to accept the Grad PLUS loan. The Law Financial Aid Office accepts the Grad PLUS loan on the student’s behalf. Your first step is to log into the my.UChicago portal to accept the Unsubsidized loan. If you plan to borrow from the Grad PLUS loan, please submit a Grad PLUS loan application at www.studentaid.gov. 

A student should respond to the aid package notification as soon as possible after receiving it. If they fail to respond in a timely manner, the aid, including loans, may not be available to meet tuition and other charges on the first day of the quarter. Consequently, the student may incur a late payment fee.

Financial Responsibility Agreement and Refund Policy

The Financial Responsibility Agreement outlines policies and procedures governing the management of your Student Account at the University of Chicago during your academic career as a student. Students are required to confirm review of these polices once during their academic career. Failure to review and confirm may result in restriction of future registration.  You will be requested to complete this checklist item in your my.UChicago portal.
