University of Maine at Presque Isle.
Welcome to our incoming and returning students! We are beyond happy to have you a part of the University of Maine at Presque Isle community.
The Office of Student Financial Services is responsible for awarding and disbursing Financial Aid, placing students for Student Employment, validating Student IDs, distributing parking decals, managing payment plans, billing and posting of payments and scholarships.
Top Ten Topics:
* If you are receiving any outside scholarship(s) or other assistance for this academic year, please make sure that you provide a copy of the letter and/or certificate to our office as soon as possible. It is crucial we include these funds at the beginning of the academic year.
* If you have a vehicle on campus, you will need to purchase a parking decal. The cost is $10 for the first parking decal and $2 for each additional vehicle. A Motor Vehicle Registration Form will need to be completed in our office as well.
* Make sure to stop by our office to have your student ID validated. If your bill is paid or if you have a payment plan in place with the first payment made, stickers will be placed on your ID to signify that you’re able to use the services at Gentile Hall and the CIL. Student IDs are issued in Emerson Annex.
* If you were awarded Work Study in your financial aid award package and have any questions about placement, SEA forms or requirements for the Work Study Program, please contact our office. Keep in mind, if you need your earnings to go toward your bill, make sure to stop by the office at the beginning of each semester to complete a new form.
* If you are already covered with health insurance and don’t need the insurance offered through the university, be sure to complete the online waiver before Oct. 1, 2019. This will allow for the charge to be removed from your bill. You may provide proof of your insurance information by going to www.crossagency.com/umpi.
* If you haven’t completed your file for financial aid yet, please do so as soon as possible. If you have not applied for financial aid yet, you can find the necessary application at www.fafsa.gov. UMPI’s school code is 002033. When there are excess funds from financial aid, we encourage students to use direct deposit when receiving a refund. If you are not already set up, please visit http://www.umpi.edu/offices/student-financial -services/student-accounts/direct-deposit to enroll. It is suggested for students to take just enough loan to cover their bill, school supplies and books. If you received a refund check and would like to reduce your loan debt, you may do so by returning the difference to the Office of Student Financial Services. Help us reach our goal of reducing $200,000 in loans for the 2019-2020 academic year!
* Take advantage of applying for our Foundation Scholarships. At the end of November, keep an eye out for emails and posters throughout campus informing you to stop by our office to apply. This application is due in our office in February.
* As soon as Oct. 1, 2019, you can apply for financial aid for the academic year of 2020-2021. We encourage you to apply early, so that full eligibility will be received before some funds run out.
* For you to register for each fall semester and spring semester, you will need to complete the Financial Responsibility Statement under your To Do List on your Student Services Center on MaineStreet.
* If you decide to register for summer courses, please stop by our office during the month of April to apply for summer financial aid. If you do not fill out the summer form, you will not be eligible to receive any aid for the summer.
If you have any questions throughout the 2019-2020 academic year, please feel free to contact our office. We are open Monday-Friday from 8:00 AM-4:30 PM. Our office is located at 235 Preble Hall (top floor in the middle of the hallway).
