Getting started? |
Student's financial aid office will request from us specific enrollment information i.e. duration and credits, tuition, accommodation, course material and living costs. If your financial aid office is unaware of the process, refer them to chapter 7 in the 2003-2004 edition of the IFAP's Student Financial Aid Handbook on Written Agreements.
