*Special
Announcements for Students* Financial assistance, bookstore voucher and changes in your credit hours... Students receiving financial assistance for any semester and having credit on their student account, may use these funds to purchase books. To do so you go to the Bursar's Office and request a bookstore voucher. You then take that to the bookstore. To determine if you have credit on you account, contact the Bursar's Office. ***** Changes in your credit hours after you receive a bookstore voucher could affect the amount of financial assistance you receive. Any change in your financial assistance could lead to the college dropping all of your classes. For more information contact: FAD at the numbers below: La Plata 301 934 7531, Leonardtown 240 725 5300, Prince Frederick 443 550 6000 ***** Dropped classes: Your financial assistance awards are posted on the “express services”. If you do not have financial assistance by the date you must pay your "bill in-full", you may join the FACTS payment plan, pay cash or your classes will be dropped. ******* Maryland State Scholarship Program Workforce Shortage Student Assistance Grant Program is available for students registering for 6 credits or more per semester. You must be in a degree program in a critical shortage area, such as nursing, physical therapy. For details on this program please go to: www.mhec.state.md.us ***** Students attending CSM and having questions concerning VA benefit information should contact the Registrar's Office at 301 934-7552 or 301 934-7656.

***** Answers to your questions about the 20% down payment to CSM and applying for Financial Assistance. If CSM has received your FAFSA information for the current year you will be protected from making a 20% down payment when you register. To determine if the FAFSA information is here: You go to “do it online/express services” and log in. Then look in “financial assistance folder” under “my documents”. Example: If you see ‘08-09 FAFSA Import to Coll’ then you don't need to worry about the down payment for 2008-09. As always, should you have questions, please contact FAD at 301 934 7531. HOWEVER, once bill payment date arrives, you are responsible for paying you account. Any charges not covered by financial assistance must be paid. To avoid confusion check your account often for the charges, what is paid by financial assistance and what is owed. ***** Please remember to update your demographic information (name, phone number, address) so important FAD information may be sent to you when necessary. This may be done by going to the following site: https://express.csmd.edu/demochgform_print.pdf ***** Applying for financial assistance for the academic year can be accomplished by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You may complete this on line at: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov . Or by submitting a hard copy which is available at the FAD office on any campus. Details on all programs offered by CSM may be reviewed by going to: http://www.csmd.edu/financial/types.html . Priority is given to those who apply by March 1st. Students filing after that date are awarded based on the availability of funds. ***** Maryland residents should also be aware that they may apply for state programs by using the FAFSA form. For details on those programs go to: http://www.mhec.state.md.us/financialAid/index.asp *****
