MBC Financial Aid: Missing Information Letters
"Missing Information" letters are sent to all financial aid applicants
beginning in January preceding the academic year. These letters are
our way of letting you know the status of your file. Aid cannot be
credited to your account after enrollment until your file is complete.
Read these letters carefully. They will let you know which
documents we have not received and which have been
returned to you for completion or correction.
Call if
- You know it has been more than 10 to 14 days since you mailed a
document to our office;
- You never received a document requested to be returned (such as
an award letter or loan request form); or
- It has been more than two weeks since you filed your FAFSA, and
we still do not have the electronic version of your Student Aid Report.
If you are not planning on filing the FAFSA, send us a brief note
with your name and Mary Baldwin ID number (found on the missing information
letter), and we will adjust our records and finalize your financial aid
file.
