What is a First-Year Seminar?

A first-year seminar is a class with twenty first-year students. It is conducted in a discussion format and focuses on a particular discipline.

Why should I take a First-Year Seminar?

Students enrolled in the first-year seminars will have mentoring and guidance from classroom and library faculty members working in collaboration to foster student learning. They will have opportunities both inside and outside the classroom to socialize with their peers and make friends that can last their entire college career.

How does it work?

Students in a first-year fall seminar will also enroll in the same section of POST 101 and in some seminars, ENG 1 also. The seminar will fulfill the same requirements as other sections of the course. Library faculty with expertise in the discipline will be available to assist students with their research. First-year seminars in the spring semester are continuations of the fall seminars but do not include registration in sections of POST 101 or ENG 1.

Please contact LIU Promise for more information regarding First-Year Seminars at (516) 299-3737 or LIUPromise@liu.edu.

Will the First-Year Seminar fulfill my degree requirements?

Yes! Most of the first-year seminars are core liberal arts classes that will help students get started on meeting their core requirements in their first semester. Students enrolling in these seminars will also have the opportunity to enroll in a research-oriented first-year seminar in their second semester taught by the same instructor that will also fulfill core requirements.

Student-Run Businesses
Looking for a job that will let you develop valuable resume-building skills? LIU students have the unique opportunity to work at various on-campus student-run businesses. Students not only work regular hours in shop operations, but also contribute to all behind-the-scenes business operations including merchandise buying and inventory management, marketing and social media promotion, financial planning and accounting, scheduling and staff management, and more.

Federal Work-Study
The Federal Work-Study Program is designed to provide on campus jobs to students with financial need. The money earned may be applied to students’ tuition, educational needs, or personal expenses. To receive Work-Study a student must apply for financial assistance by completing a FAFSA form and demonstrate need as determined by the federal government. Students can work up to 20 hours per week after the start of each semester. Summer employment is also available. Work study monetary awards are listed on students’ My LIU accounts. If Work-Study is awarded, the student will be placed in an on-campus job by Career Services, pending availability of positions.

LIU Post On-Campus Jobs
Students who have completed work-study or were unable to obtain work-study from the Federal Work-Study Program may apply for on-campus budget jobs working for a campus department and getting paid directly from that department's budget. At times, budget jobs may be difficult to get as most departments fill their support staff with Work-Study students. While on-campus budget jobs may be posted at jobs.liu.edu, students can also ask their professors if they have budget opportunities, or check Aramark (LIU Post’s food service) in Hillwood Commons, Tilles Center, the Bookstore, and Admissions as these entities frequently have budget positions to fill.

Students may search for jobs on LIU Handshake portal.

LIU Post is dedicated to providing assistance to help make a college education affordable for all students.

Our financial assistance counselors are available in person and via phone or email to assist students and parents with securing financial aid, including grants, scholarships, loans, and student employment, as well as payment options to assist in meeting educational expenses.

All students who plan to attend LIU Post for undergraduate or graduate study can apply for financial aid. Applications for financial aid are considered after you have been accepted for admission to the campus and your FAFSA or CSS Profile has been received by the campus. Financial assistance decisions are made on a rolling and funds-available basis, so it is important to apply early. For maximum consideration of aid, these forms should be submitted for processing no later than March 1 of each year.

For more on scholarships and financial aid, visit our Financial Aid. If you have any questions, please call 516-299-2553 or email liu-sfs@liu.edu.

Q: When will I receive my financial aid "award notice"?

Once the university receives your completed FAFSA, a financial aid award notice (which lists the financial aid programs for which you are eligible) will be mailed to your home. If you have already registered for classes at LIU Post, you can view your financial aid award notice on your My LIU Student Center page. Your award notice will be available after mid-March. It takes approximately five to 10 business days for an award notice to be generated. If any information is incomplete on the FAFSA, you will be contacted by the LIU Post Financial Assistance Office outlining any additional documentation that is needed. Continuing LIU Post students will be packaged once the previous Spring grades are posted and a completed FAFSA is received by the school.

Q: What is LIU Post's FAFSA school code and do I have to apply every year for aid?

The LIU Post Campus FAFSA Code is "Long Island University 002751." Students must complete the FAFSA every year no later than March 1 to receive the best financial aid package possible.

Q: How do I apply for LIU Post scholarships and grants?

Some university scholarships are awarded automatically at admission based on grades, standardized test scores, and other criteria, and do not require a separate application. Others, such as program specific or participative scholarships and grants may require a direct application, audition, portfolio review and/or interview. Apply early to meet deadline dates. The FAFSA must be completed in order to receive all scholarships and grants from LIU Post. Visit [Scholarships] for additional information.

Q: When is a student considered "independent" for financial aid purposes?

The federal government defines independent student status. Specific questions on the FAFSA help to determine who is independent. These questions include if the student:

1. is 24-years-old before December 31 of the award year
2. is a graduate student
3. is married
4. is an orphan or a ward of the state
5. has legal dependents for whom he/she provides at least half the support
6. is a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces
7. is currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed forces
8. is homeless or is at risk of being homeless
9. is currently or was an emancipated minor
10. is currently or was in legal guardianship

Q: If a student registers for fewer than 12 credits per semester, is he/she still eligible for financial aid?
What if a student is in a non-degree or certificate program?

Some financial aid programs require full-time attendance. These programs include the New York State’s Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), full eligibility for Federal Pell Grants, and LIU Post campus-based financial aid (FSEOG, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work Study/America Reads and Counts). When registration falls below 12 credits per semester, these awards are generally withdrawn. Federal Pell Grants may be reduced according to part-time status (3-11 credits per term). The Federal William D. Ford Direct Student Loan Programs require a minimum registration of at least 6 credits. Non-degree or certificate programs are eligible to apply for alternative loans.

Q: When do students begin to repay their loans?

Federal William D. Ford Direct Student Loans begin repayment of interest and principal within six months after a student graduates or is registered for fewer than six credits. The six months is considered a “grace period” and students have the opportunity to work with the federal government to select the best repayment plan for their circumstances. The Unsubsidized Loan requires quarterly repayment of interest only while the student is still in school. The Federal Parent PLUS and Graduate PLUS Loans are repayable 60 days after disbursement or the parent can apply for a deferment of the principle, but repayment of interest is due while the student is in attendance.

Q: How do I resolve a “hold” for financial aid that appears on My LIU account?

There are two financial aid-related holds that may appear on your My LIU account. One is a reminder to loan borrowers that they must take an electronic Loan Exit Interview. The "FA Exit Interview" hold will prevent the release of your diploma. Once you go online to perform the Loan Exit Interview, this hold will be removed. The second hold related to Financial Aid is the “FA Block M” which means that you may have defaulted on a federal student loan. To resolve this hold, visit or call LIU Post Financial Assistance Office in Kumble Hall. To complete the Loan Exit Interview, click here.

Q: How do I accept the loans that have been offered to me?

To accept loans, you must complete a Loan Entrance Interview and electronically sign a Master Promissory Note.

Q: Where do I find more information about the financial aid programs I was awarded?

On your My LIU account, click on the “View Financial Aid” bar at the left.

Q: What if I don't see any financial aid on my record?

If you have filed your FAFSA and have not been awarded financial aid for the year you selected, you should look for outstanding “To Do List” items on your Student Center page on my.liu.edu. The items on your “To Do List” may be the reason you have not been awarded financial aid, and you should check with the LIU Post Financial Assistance Office for more details.

Q: What is the difference between “Offered” and “Accepted” awards on my Award Summary page on the My LIU?

All scholarships and grants from the federal and state governments and from LIU Post are considered to be “Offered” and “Accepted” and will automatically be applied to your bursar account to cover tuition. You can review scholarships and grants on your My LIU Student Center page under “View Financial Aid.” Scholarships and grants do not need to be repaid. Student loans also appear as “Offered” and “Accepted” in this view, but will not actually disburse to your bursar account until you have satisfied all “To Do List” items, take your Loan Entrance Interview, and electronically sign your Master Promissory Note. Parent PLUS Loans and Graduate PLUS Loans are only “Offered” until such time as they are formally accepted (Master Promissory Notes are signed, etc.) and they will move to the “Accepted” column once this is done.

Q: How will I know the exact amount of money I will receive from a loan? Are fees deducted?

If you click on the “Loan Details” link on the Award Summary page on your My LIU account, you will see the amount of your loan, the fees that are incurred, and the “net” amount of your loan that will be disbursed to your account.

Q: What happens if I file the FAFSA after the LIU Post Campus deadline of March 1 has passed?
Is there any financial aid I can still receive?

After the Campus-based financial aid deadline, it is not too late to complete the FAFSA. A student can still receive a Federal Pell Grant, New York State TAP award, and loans from the Federal Direct Student Loan Programs. However, funding may be limited. The deadline dates for these programs appears on the “Deadline Dates” option of your My LIU Student Center page.

Q: How do I know if I need to provide additional documentation to the Financial Assistance Office?

Upon full completion of the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA, students will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) from the federal processor. The comment section will indicate if additional information is required. The LIU Post Financial Assistance Office may contact you as well if additional documentation is needed.

Q: After I receive a financial aid award summary, can my funding allocation change?

Your funding can change if additional resources, not previously considered, are reported. If changes are made to FAFSA information that affects your eligibility, this may result in revised awards including a reduction in loan eligibility. The university reserves the right to adjust or revise this financial aid package should you:

1. receive additional assistance from other sources not listed on the award letter
2. your FAFSA application changes due to updates you provide
3. there is inconsistent information during the verification process
4. if your registration or housing plans change
5. you no longer meet the Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress for any institutional, federal or state aid listed.

Q: How does "good academic standing" and "satisfactory progress" affect my financial aid package?

Every school must publish standards of good academic standing and satisfactory progress for financial aid purposes. These standards are in the LIU Post Bulletin and reflect academic conditions that must be met in order to maintain your financial aid awards. They include, but are not limited to:

1. A minimum grade point average
2. A minimum number of credits earned each semester
3. A minimum number of cumulative credits earned each payment period

The federal government requires schools to develop these standards because it wishes to monitor the fact that students make progress toward their educational objective, i.e., a baccalaureate degree. These measures insure that reviews take place, and that the institution is in compliance with the regulation.

Q: If a student is awarded Federal Work Study, can any of those earnings be applied to a tuition bill?

Yes, up to 75 percent of earnings from the Federal Work Study program may be applied to a student’s tuition bill. The student will need to complete the Payroll Deduction Request Change Form.

Q: What is the interest rate on the William D. Ford Direct Loans?

The interest rate for both Direct Subsidized Loans is variable and is adjusted each year on July 1. The interest rate will be calculated differently depending on several circumstances. The interest rate during the in-school, grace, and deferment periods is equal to the 91-day Treasury bill rate plus 3.1 percentage points. By law, however, the interest rate can never exceed 8.25 percent.

The Direct Loan Servicing Center will notify the student each year in writing about the interest rate that will go into effect on July 1. Note that the fixed amount students pay each month will be adjusted to account for any changes in the interest rate. The length of the student’s repayment period will not be adjusted unless they request it by contacting the Servicing Center.

Q: How do students make William D. Ford Direct Loan payments?

Students can pay by check every month or by Electronic Debit Account (EDA). If students elect to pay by check, they should send all loan payments to the Direct Loan Servicing Center. The address for mailing payments will appear on their billing statement. If students select EDA, loan payments will automatically be deducted from their checking accounts.

Q: Is there a penalty for repaying Federal William D. Ford Direct Loans early?

No. Students may prepay all or part of the unpaid balance on any Direct Loan at any time without penalty. The Direct Loan Servicing Center will apply the prepayment first to any charges or collection costs, then to interest, and last to principal.

Q: What happens if I don't pay back my loan(s)?

If you think you might have a problem making the scheduled payments on your loans, contact the Direct Loan Servicing Center immediately at dl.ed.gov to discuss other repayment plan options and whether you are eligible for a deferment or forbearance. You are delinquent if your monthly payment is not received by the due date. Default occurs when you become 270 days delinquent in making payments on your loans. The consequences of default can be severe. If you default:

• the entire unpaid amount of your loan becomes due and payable
• your default will be reported to national credit agencies
• your wages, federal tax refund or other federal payments will be withheld
• you will be required to pay collection fees and costs, plus court costs and attorney fees
• you will lose eligibility for other federal student aid and most other federal benefit programs
• you will no longer be eligible for loan deferments (such as deferments while you are in school, unemployed or experiencing economic hardship)

Q: What happens if my Direct Subsidized and Direct Unsubsidized Loans are in repayment and I decide to go back to school?

You may be eligible to postpone your loan payments with an in-school deferment if you are attending an eligible school at least halftime. If you are attending less than half time and think you might have difficulty repaying your loans, contact the Direct Loan Servicing Center at dl.ed.gov. Students may be able to obtain a forbearance to postpone their payments.
