What's on GWeb

The Financial Aid Menu on GWeb is organized into the following sections.

Cost of Attendance

Student-specific cost of attendance components and amounts. The components that make up a student's cost of attendance include:

Books and Supplies

Eligibility

Student-specific requirements, holds, and academic progress statuses for effective terms.

Student Requirements - The Student Requirements tab shows both outstanding and completed requirements (requested documents and/or forms) needed to complete a student’s financial aid application or to disburse awarded funds to a student's university account.
Holds - Financial aid holds may be placed on a student's record to prevent financial aid from being awarded or disbursed. Students with financial aid holds should contact our office in order to resolve any issues and have the hold removed.
Academic Progress - This section shows a students academic progress and is based on academic performance for each term that a student is enrolled. Progress towards the completion of a student's program is also a factor. Poor academic performance can affect eligibility for federal, state, and institutional financial assistance.
