Once your financial aid award package is processed, you will receive a notification to your LMU email account. You can view and accept your financial aid award package via "WebAdvisor for Students" in your MyLMU account. Students who want to borrow a reduced amount in student loans would need to complete a Loan Request Form and return it to the Office of Student Financial Services. After accepting Federal Direct Student Loans, there are additional requirements you must complete. Those requirements are detailed below. Failure to complete the required steps will delay disbursal of financial aid funds.
