Receiving Your Financial Aid

• Does your award include grants? You do not need to accept them; they will automatically pay to your account based on your credit level. Make sure you read the notes on each grant to understand the rules.
• Does your award include work study? You can accept or decline it in the award notification section. If you want to search for work study jobs, visit the Student Employment page.
• Does your award include federal student loans? Look for the "Loans" section under Financial Aid for instructions and links to the loan acceptance process.
• To figure out if your award will cover your costs: 
  • Use this handy worksheet to calculate your costs 

To figure out if your financial aid award will cover your bill, click the Bills and Payment tab, on the left within e-Services. Your balance of tuition and fees at Normandale will be listed on the right by term.

Subtract the total balance of tuition and fees by the total of your grants, scholarships and loans (excluding work study) and you will get the balance of what you owe (Tuition and Fees - Total Aid = Balance Due)

• If the Balance Due is positive, you will owe that amount to Normandale.
• If the Balance Due is negative, your tuition & fees are covered and you have remaining financial aid to pay for books, transportation or living expenses. This amount will be sent to you after the 10th day of the term.
