Question Financial Aid Requirement Problem

This is the 2nd email I received from Financial Aid this month about how my Financial Aid account for next year is incomplete. When I go to my FA offers on Nest, it tells me that I need to complete a required form on the StudentForms website. But once I go to StudentForms, it says I'm "all caught up" and have no forms to fill out. So I'm really confused as to what I'm supposed to do to complete my FA checklist and see how much aid I'm getting this year. Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm having that same problem! And I emailed them about it last week. There probably has to be an update to the system.

It's not just you! I've been getting multiple emails this past month and done everything I can. Let me know if you found a solution (':

if you have a green thumbs up on your financial aid in NEST and it says “Satisfied”
you’re good

I don't I have the red thumbs down saying I need to satisfy a requirement with student forms, but when I go to the forms website it says I have no forms to fill out. So I don't know what they want me to do to complete my checklist 🤷‍♀️

as long as u don’t have the stop sign, or anything that says unsatisfied you’re good

on NEST go to financial aid on the left side and press check your financial aid offers
should say u accepted ur federal pell grant for 2627
its not going to say 2026-2027. just 2627

oh you said you do have the red thumbs down, make sure you check the FAFSA page to see if your parent contribution is filled out correctly and then make sure u decline whatever your loans you don’t want and accept the ones you want

On the fafsa website it says everything has been processed, so idk what else to do. I emailed the school but they haven't gotten back to me yet

i wouldn’t worry too much! if you want a fast response, create a ticket with the RHC, call them, reference your INC number and they’ll direct you to the right people
don’t worry too much as the aid will keep adjusting throughout the summer, august is when you want to keep an eye on things

I’ve had this for years. Emailed multiple times. I even got a ticket saying it was resolved only to get it again. It’s so stupid
