MyUW shows a hold on my account-what does that mean?
Holds will prevent aid from disbursing to you for a variety of reasons. Usually holds are placed because you are missing required documentation or you may not have completed enough credits in the previous quarter or previous year. There is information about the type of hold on MyUW and you can contact us with any remaining questions about how to resolve the hold on your aid. • Does where I live make a difference in the amount of aid I receive? Yes, if you plan to live with your parents or other relatives where you will not pay rent (or pay much in rent) then your aid may be adjusted to reflect your lower housing costs. You need to let us know if you change your plans to live or not live with relatives during the school year. We use the same costs for on or off campus housing so you don’t need to tell us about changes you make between these two categories. • My financial aid award is not enough to cover my expenses. What are my options? You have several options: Talk to one of our couns
