Welcome back, students! As the spring semester of 2010 approaches, your friends at DTI would like to offer a few pointers to help you start your term with a bang. Keep in mind that classes begin on Tuesday, January 19, 2010. If you’re still waiting with bated breath to find out what your financial aid award for the semester will be, you should be informed during the week of January 11. For most scholarships, unfortunately, it may take several weeks or sometimes even months to hear anything back.
Also, remember to get a new student ID if you’re transferring to UC-Denver this term. Once you have registered, first go to the Bursar's office with your new schedule to get a coupon for a free student ID. Then visit the ID center in Tivoli 269 with your current schedule in order to obtain your new official school ID. Here you can also access light rail pass stickers for the spring semester. If you are unfamiliar with the student union, your DTI peer mentor will be happy to assist you.
Lastly, NOW is the time you should be completing your FAFSA for the Fall ’10- Spring ’11 school year - even if you haven’t completed your most recent tax return yet. We encourage you to fill out everything you can to ensure that your funding is renewed for the upcoming fall semester: making any necessary changes once you have completed your tax return. The longer you wait to fill out your FAFSA form, the less money you will likely receive. To complete your FAFSA form TODAY, use 004508 as UCD’s school code.
We wish you the best of luck as you begin classes and fit another piece into your academic puzzle. Don’t hesitate to schedule appointments with your case manager or peer mentor if you need assistance. Enjoy your semester!
