TCNJ Bound This Summer?  Let Us Know!

Are you heading back to TCNJ this summer for classes? If so, we need to know. As part of our commitment to our students, we require all students attending one or all summer sessions to confirm their attendance prior to the start of their first class.

Please Note!!!

2009-2010 financial aid processing will occur in the Primary Academic Web Services (PAWS) system.  Features available in July 2009 include: the ability to view financial aid awards by term and by year and accept and/or decline financial aid. 

An online demonstration regarding these features will be posted on the Office of Student Financial Services website in June 2009. 

During the summer, students will receive an e-mail in their TCNJ e-mail account with instructions on how to view their award and accept and/or decline their financial aid awards.
