How to View Anticipated Aid in the Student Center

Click on the Account Inquiry link under the Finances section. This will bring you to the Account Summary page. Under the What I Owe box, click on the yellow bar that says CLICK HERE to see Pending Financial Aid Based on Actual Enrollment. This is the amount of aid you will receive based on the number of classes you are taking.

If anticipated Financial Aid is shown for the particular semester and is sufficient to cover your tuition and fee

balance in full, no action is required. Your classes will be held as long as the account balance does not exceed the anticipated aid for that particular semester. Account balances that occur from a shortage of semesteranticipated financial aid must be paid in full by Reynolds payment deadlines.
