Before
you start, be sure you have received a user name and password
from the College. If you have been admitted, or if you
have received an orientation package, we've sent you what
you need to enter your student account center. If you
don't have this information, call or email your admissions
and financial aid counselor, who can send it to you. Here's
a link to our counselors: http://www.newberry.edu/admissions/counselors/default.asp

Have
your user name and password ready. Just to refresh your
memory, the user name is normally your first and last
names, separated by a period; e.g. John.Smith. |
|

|
Go
to https://secure.newberry.edu/account
/ Note that the address is not the usual http. It
has an "s" added to it. If you accidentally
type in the wrong address, it will simply take you back
to the Newberry College Homepage. You are now at the entry
site for your student account center. |
|

Enter
your username and password. Then click the
button that says "log in" to access your account.
-
Note that you will use this site to register for classes
as well. However, you must complete all of your financial
aid requirements before you will be allowed to register
for classes. It is to your advantage to complete these
requirements as soon as possible so that you will
be able to register for classes sooner, thereby allowing
you to choose classes and class times that may best
suit your needs

Click
on the link that says "Financial Aid."
This link will take you to your online Award Letter, which
displays "Available Awards" on the left and "Requirements"
on the right. |
|
|
|
6. |
|
Under
"Available Awards," you will see each award that is available
to you with a "Pending" status. Check the boxes on the
right of each financial aid item that you accept as a
means of paying for your college expenses. If you wish
to decline any of the items, do not check the
box to the right of those items you decline to accept.
Once you have picked the awards that you wish to accept,
click on the "Accept Selected Awards" button. |
|
|
|

|
You
have now selected all the financial aid you wish to use.
The next step is to complete the selections by submitting
to your admissions counselor all the documents needed
to process your selection on each item. Look on the right
side of the screen. Find the items listed under "Requirements."
For the financial aid associated with each item you chose
to process through the system, download the document by
clicking the printer icon, print the document,
fill it out completely , and mail/fax (803.321.5138)
it to your admissions and financial aid counselor. |

You
have one important step left, and that is to identify
how you intend to pay the balance of your bill. You
are likely to see that the amount of financial aid does
not cover your balance. Though you won't get your "official"
bill until mid-July, you can get a good estimate of
your balance by completing this portion, and you can
make all the necessary arrangements for payment right
here. To finish this step, download the "Payment Method"
form under the documents column.
- Read
the discussion about your costs and payment methods.
- Use
the table we have provided to compute your estimated
costs. Determine the balance you owe by subtracting
your awards and loans from your estimated costs.
- Determine
how you wish to pay the balance. Use the links to
register for the Tuition Management System, or to
apply for a Parent Plus or a private loan, if those
are part of your payment plan.

Print
out the payment method form, fill in the spaces indicating
how you will make payment, then fax or mail it as indicated
on the form. When the proper documentation arrives at
the College, we will indicate on the site that it has
arrived. If a document has not been completed or submitted,
its status will be labeled as "Not Received" to the right
of each pertinent item. We'll contact you, of course,
if you made an error in completing any document. |
|
|

|
If
you apply for a Parent Plus or Private Loan, the agency
that coordinates those loans will notify us that your
loan has been approved. Once it does, we will indicate
on your financial aid page that we have received the documents.
The same is true for your enrollment in the Tuition Management
System. |

|
Keep
checking the site until you see that all your items have
the notation "Received" next to them. Once all have that
notation, you have submitted all the necessary paperwork
to receive that financial aid and have completed your
financial aid processing. |

|
Once
you have paid your deposit, completed all the arrangements
needed to pay your bill, and had your high school or college
send in your final transcript, you can register for class.
