assistance. Their number is 318-342-5320. They can also get you in contact with your
Financial Aid Counselor if needed. You can leave a voicemail with Ace's Place if no
one is available and someone will be happy to return your call. Please allow us one
to two business days to return all calls and emails during peak season.
Attending Summer? If you are emailing in regards to Summer 2021 aid: We are currently in the process
of posting all eligible Summer aid. Please monitor your banner and email for updates
over the next few weeks. Please keep in mind you must be enrolled in Summer courses
for any eligible aid to be posted. Summer Aid will not post immediately after enrollment
or bill population. If you are enrolled in Summer courses, please allow two weeks
after enrollment before contacting our office about Summer aid.
TOPS? If you are an incoming Freshman, your TOPS cannot post to your bills as an estimate!
Please make sure LOSFA has your recent ACT score and your final High School Transcript
for that estimated amount to post as an actual amount that will apply to your bill.
TOPS Update: Estimated TOPS amounts are being cancelled & actual TOPS amounts for
eligible recipeients are being posted beginning 7/6/2021.
If you are a continuing student, TOPS requires full time enrollment. If you are not
going to be enrolled full time, you need to advise us ahead of time so we can determine
if you will still be eligible to receive your TOPS award.
Unsatisfied Requirements? We are in the process of pulling in 2021-2022 FAFSA information. You will receive
an email stating that we have received your FAFSA and you need to check to see if
you have any unsatisfied requirements. If you have unsatisfied requirements, please
read the description of what we need from you for each item. If you have accepted loans for the 2021-2022 year and the only unsatisfied requirement
you have is your Entrance Counseling and Master Promissory Note, This will continue
to show as unsatisfied, even if already completed, until July when the bill comes
out and we can pull that information in. So do not be alarmed if you have completed
it.
