Applying for Winter Intersession 2013
You must have a 2012-13 FAFSA on file.
The only aid available for Winter Intersession is loans, either Direct, Parent PLUS, GRAD PLUS or Alternative loans.
If you are already receiving the maximum Federal Direct loan for your grade level (freshmen - $5500, sophomore - $6500, juniors and seniors - $7500, graduate students - $20,500), then only PLUS loans or Alternative loans might be available to you. These loans require a separate application. PLUS and Alternative loan application processes can be found at http://www.uwlax.edu/finaid/apply.html
Additional eligibility for loans will be limited to the cost of Winter Intersession tuition and fees. When fees are known, it should be posted on the Cashier's Office website.
Winter Intersession costs may be billed separately, but any approved Winter Intersession aid is part of the Spring Semester and will be disbursed along with the Spring aid (usually the first day of Spring Semester).
AFTER YOU REGISTER FOR WINTER INTERSESSION, complete the Application Form and turn it into the Financial Aid Office. The Winter Intersession Financial Aid Form will be available when registration starts in November.
YOU ONLY NEED TO COMPLETE THE FORM if you want to use remaining Direct loan eligibility or have already borrowed the maximum PLUS or Alternative loan estimate on your award.
If you have not borrowed the maximum PLUS or Alternative loan estimate on your award, you can just apply for those loans through the process posted at http://www.uwlax.edu/finaid/apply.html and YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLETE THE WINTER INTERSESSION FINANCIAL AID FORM.
