FIRST THINGS FIRST We’ve put together the next steps for you to take if you choose to enroll at Regis University. And we hope you do! We’re waiting for you to join us! Step 1. Make your deposit to secure your spot in the Class of 2021. Deposits are due May 1. But you may deposit earlier if you’d like to. Go to http://regis.edu/YES. Once you have submitted your deposit, allow 24 hours for it to be processed, and then move on to the next steps below. Step 2. What else makes you an official Regis University student? RegisNET. Set up your RegisNET account, including your Regis University email at webadvisor. regis.edu. (See booklet for more details) Step 3. Let’s talk fall registration. The enclosed packet of information will tell you what you need to know to start the registration process. This is one of our
favorite elements of the first-year experience - so don’t wait! Open it up and consider your options. We couldn’t be more excited for your first semester! Step 4. Ready to find a roommate? The Residence Life portal will be open for priority housing sign-up from April 1 May 22 at www.regis.edu/housingsignup. Whether you choose a living learning community for Colorado outdoor adventure or university service and ministry - or if you decide to live in our general community - picking your residence hall is a big deal. Keep your eyes open for your Residence Life brochure. If it hasn’t already landed in your mailbox, it will soon. Step 5. Stay tuned for more steps! But we think this is enough for now.

FINANCIAL AID REMINDERS Financial Aid awards are being mailed regularly. If you haven’t received yours, contact your Admissions Counselor to help determine where you are in the process. Once your financial aid is awarded, here are some additional steps: 1. Contact your outside scholarship administrators to get information about disbursement dates. Funds need to be received by the due date (August 1 for fall, January 1 for spring). 2. If you applied for federal financial aid, login to webadvisor.regis.edu to view your Financial Aid Award Letter. To respond to your loan offer, click on “Accept” or “Reject My Federal Direct Student Loan.” 3. If accepting Federal Direct Loans, first time borrowers must complete Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note online at studentloans.gov. 4. If you are awarded a Federal Pell grant, AND you graduated from a Colorado high school, AND you are a current Colorado resident, you may be eligible for the College Opportunity Fund (COF). Complete the Colorado Residency form and the Authorization to Request COF Stipends form, found at regis.edu/faforms. You must also apply for the funds through cof.college-assist.org. 5. If a Parent PLUS loan is offered on your award letter, and your PARENT borrower is interested in borrowing all or a part of the loan, the borrower must apply at studentloans.gov. A credit check will be required and completion of a PLUS loan Master Promissory Note.
PAYMENT OPTIONS If you are not utilizing financial aid or if you have an outstanding balance after financial aid is considered, you have options.
