Before you decide to never go on the internet again there are things you can do to protect yourself. Just like you have to maintain a sur board for optimal performance, you should also maintain your browser. The irst thing is to clear the data out of your browser. If you are using Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer you can do this by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Del buttons on your keyboard at the same time and then releasing. This should bring up a screen that will allow you select what you want to delete like passwords, browsing and download history, and cookies. This should be done on a regular basis. You can also set your browser to surf the web anonymously. This means your browser won’t save information on which sites you visited. You enable this under your browser’s settings. Since each browser uses different terminology, check out anonymous browsing under your browser’s help feature to ind out how to enable this. Though these items can help improve your browsing experience the most important thing you can do while on the internet is to be mindful of where you are, what you are clicking on and especially what you are uploading and posting on the internet. You can have the latest and updated virus software, set your browser to protect you, but if you are not paying attention to what you are doing on the internet you can still put yourself in a dangerous situation. So this summer please make sure your internet sur ing is safe.
FINANCIAL AID ATTENTION GRADUATING SENIORS! We know that gradua ng is an exci ng me but that the thought of entering repayment on your student loans can be scary, so, the financial aid office wanted to share steps that can make this transi on smoother for our students. So, If you are currently or will soon be no longer enrolled at least half me for any reason (gradua ng, dropping, etc.) and have used federal student loans, you will want to know and complete the following steps. STEP 1: If you used federal student loans, the Department of Educa on requires that you complete exit coun‐ seling at www.studentloans.gov. You will not have access to your diploma, transcript, or aid at another ins tu‐ on if you do not complete exit counseling.
In order to log in you will need your social security number, the first two le ers of your last name, your date of birth, and your federal personal iden fica on number also known as the pin that you used to sign the FAFSA. If you do not know your pin, you can go to pin.ed.gov and “request a duplicate pin”. Once logged in choose “complete counseling” and then start the required exit counseling. You must complete the en re counseling and then submit at the end. You will receive a message to let you know that this step was suc‐ cessfully completed. STEP 2: Log into www.nslds.ed.gov to see how much you owe and which servicer you will owe. Click “financial aid review” and log in. In order to log in you will need your social security number, the first two le ers of your last name, your date of birth, and your federal personal iden fica on number also known as the pin that you used to sign the FAFSA. Once logged in you will see a list of all of the federal student loans that you have. Click on number 1. At the bo om of the page you will see “Contact” and in the box your current servicer or servicer will be listed along with their contact informa on. A er you have wri en down the informa on, hit next through each of your loans and adding any other servicers that you have to your list. You might only have one servicer, so, that would be the only contact you need. If the outstanding principal and the outstanding interest are both listed as $0 under the financial aid re‐ view then you do not need that servicer’s contact informa on. STEP 3: Find out when you will go into repayment for your federal student loans. There is only one 6 month grace peri‐ od per student not per loan.
If you have never been less than half me and/or not enrolled for 6 consecu ve months, then your repayment will begin 6 months from the date that you were no longer a ending at least half‐ me. If you have ever been less than half me and/or not enrolled for 6 consecu ve months a er receiving federal stu‐ dent loans, then you could enter repayment immediately. You can find out when you will enter repayment by contac ng the servicer through the contact informa on re‐ ceived in step 2. *Half me at Tiffin University is at least 6 credit hours for an undergraduate student and at least 4 credit hours for a graduate student. The grace period is a me when you are not required to make payments.

FINANCIAL AID STEP 4: Repay your student loans either online at your servicer’s website or over the phone by calling your servicer. If you cannot afford your payments, contact your servicer immediately to discuss a deferment, forbearance, extended repayment plan, graduated repayment plan, or income driven plan. This may require documenta on or take up to a month to be processed so do not delay contac ng your servicer if you need alterna ve op ons for repaying your stu‐ dent loans. *If you don’t repay your federal student loans, you will go into default which has many consequences including but not limited to: your credit score may be adversely affected, your tax return may be seized, your wages may be garnished, you lose your eligibility for further financial aid, and you may be denied the income driven repayment plan op ons. So, do not ignore this responsibility, rather contact your servicer if you cannot afford your payments to set up alterna ve arrangements! Although your loans are held by the Department of Educa on, servicers are the company that collects payments, re‐ sponds to customer service inquiries, and performs other administra ve tasks associated with maintaining a federal student loan on behalf of the Department of Educa on. The following are federal student loan servicers and their con‐ tact numbers.

Sports News Baseball The Tif in University baseball team dropped three of the four games in their weekend series against the Lake Erie Storm. The Dragons and Storm had to inish their suspended contest from the day before. After 10 innings, darkness ended the day, and the game resumed today in the 11th tied at 9-9. The Dragons pushed two across to take an 11-9 advantage, but the Storm were not to be outdone. Lake Erie plated three runs in their half of the inning to win in walk-off fashion. In game three, it was a tight affair that featured more pitching than hitting. The Dragons sent Brady Ward to the helm to navigate through the Storm lineup. Brady lasted 3 1/3 innings, and the only blemish on his line was the one that cost him the game. A double and a walk followed by another double made it 2-0 in favor of Lake Erie. That score held up as Tif in could only manage three hits at the plate. Isaac Perry, Garrett Vernau, and Nick Hueneburg were the only three Dragons to collect a hit, and all were of the one base variety. But credit has to be given where

Sports News continued Tournament, as the team will get a irst round bye and will face the winner of Findlay-Ursuline in the Semi inals at Grand Valley State University on May 1. The Dragons jumped on Walsh early, Emily Roussel got the irst two TU goals, and the Dragons went on to lead 6-1 at the 18:22 mark. They led 13-2 at halftime and never looked back. TU outshot Walsh 45-7 and also held a 15-8 lead in ground balls. They dominated on the draw 236 and committed only 10 turnovers (1 in the second half) while forcing 17 Walsh miscues. Jessica Bombard got the win in goal, making 2 saves in the irst 30 minutes. That leaves her just one save shy of 900 for her career, already good for second in NCAA history in career saves. Kali Maisano (16 minutes) and Kellie Gruber (14 minutes, 2 saves) also saw time in the nets. Roussel had 6 goals and 2 assists along with 4 draws and 3 ground balls to lead TU. Alexis MacMillan also had 4 goals, while Morgan Sherley also had 3 goals, 2 assists, and 3 ground balls. Amanda Flotteron also had 2 goals and 3 assists in limited

Sports News continued dence to the second set victory and take the match. 2nd Singles TU - Elio Lezama Perez vs. UF - Oriol Ferrer TU's Lezama took on a tough opponent Saturday in UF's Oriol Ferrer. In their last meeting, Ferrer took care of Lezama easily, but this match was much closer. UF's Ferrer dispatched TU's Lezama in a close 3-6, 6-7 (7-3) match that saw both players ighting until the very end. Lezama's slow start haunted him again and it certainly affected him losing the irst set. The second set was anybody's ball game and with the match on the line Ferrer simply played better tennis. 3rd Singles TU - Pierre Frery vs. UF - John Kidd In another nail biter of a match, UF's John Kidd defeated TU's Pierre Frery 6-1, 7-6 (71). Frery and Kidd played a similarly close match in their previous outing with Kidd taking that one as well. The freshman played well for TU, but Kidd was able to draw on his experience and defeat Frery in the tie breaker.
4th Singles TU - Agustin Mangone vs. UF - Djordje Ljubinkovic A surprising victory for Findlay, and possibly the deciding point, came at 4th Singles where UF's Ljubinkovic defeated TU's Mangone 6-1, 6-3. In their previous meeting Mangone dispatched Ljubinkovic quite easily, but the experience and fortitude of the Findlay program brought them back in this match and he defeated Mangone for a big point at 4th Singles. 5th Singles TU - Nicholas Almeida vs. UF - Reid Wynkoop In one of two singles victories on the day for Tif in, TU's Almeida defeated UF's Wynkoop 6-3, 6-4 in another nail biter to add to this ierce rivalry. Almeida has been playing his best tennis of the season down the stretch with big wins at Wright State and in the past two Findlay matches. Almeida is a senior and his year is coming to a close, but a fantastic win for him at 5th Singles against his rival team is surely a great way to go out.
6th Singles TU - Victor Fernandes vs. UF - Connor Majdalani Similar to their last meeting, TU's captain Victor Fernandes defeated UF's Connor Majdalani 6-2, 6-4. Fernandes saw little trouble in the irst set as he defeated the UF senior with ease. The second set was a close battle but Fernandes drew on what he learned from their previous meeting and was able to control the AD side of the court in a dominant statement win for him at 6th Singles. Track and ield Tif in University's ield athletes shined at the Miami Redhawk Invitational in a weather-shortened event held at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The men had two champions, with Ralph Robinson winning the hammer throw with 56.20, while Davion Bowers was irst in the shot put with 16.52. Jay Feuerstein was 2nd in the shot put with 16.06 while Toryko Grace took second in the discus with 44.10, missing the championship by just four hundredths of a meter.

For the women, Giulianne Pereira won the javelin with 33.91. Kamara Avant was 2nd in the long jump with 5.38, and Miranda Mondozzi was 2nd in the shot put with 13.95.

Women's Golf Tif in University's women's golf team inished 10th of 11 teams at the GLIAC Championships held at Findlay Country Club April 24-26. The Dragons ired a three-day total of 1055, just edging Wayne State's 1058. The Dragons opened with 355, improved by 13 strokes to 342 on day two, but then fell off to 358 on the last day. Staci Ludwig led the Dragons, in-
ishing 7th overall with a 233. She opened with 76, stayed steady with 77 on day two, and then shot 80 in round three. Marisa Behringer was next for TU, shooting 265, while Carlin Kern and Hannah Hunt each shot 282. Sophie Baun brought up the rear with 296. Men's Golf For the fourth consecutive year, Tif in University's men's golf team has quali ied for NCAA Regional competition. The Dragons are one of 80 teams and 32 student-athletes qualifying for the postseason, with regional play commencing May 4-6. TU will compete in the Central/ Midwest Regional held at Cog Hill Golf and Country Club in Lemont, Illinois and hosted by Lewis University. The top 3 teams and 2 golfers from each regional will advance to Finals play May 18-22 at Rock Barn Golf and Spa in Conover, North Carolina.

"I am so proud of the team and our effort this season," said Head Coach Darby Roggow. "Our goal at the beginning of the year was to return to the NCAA Super Regionals and give ourselves a chance to make the National Championship Tournament. We have enjoyed a great year but we are not ready to go on vacation yet. We are honored to be among some of the best teams in the country and we look forward to competing against them at Cog Hill." Tif in has enjoyed a banner year so far, winning the GLIAC Championship in the fall. They recently had four golfers named to the AllGLIAC squad (Brett Green 1st Team, John Tidenberg and Tyler Maranville 2nd Team, Tyler Schepens Hon. Mention) while Roggow was named Coach of the Year.
