A1 Need micro & macro vision relative to your institution. What does it cost? Comparative cost? Expected outcome? Remainder cost #IOLchat

Federal financial aid is so important for so many students! And a great place to start the quest for funding. #iolchat

#IOLchat Ts and Adv's can assist in tracking cumulative bill, available aid/loan balance, graduation date goal, and return on degree

#IOLchat - faculty involvement
- CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Apr 5 @ 12:46 PM EDT
  
  How prevalent to you think this kind of tracking is among faculty and advisors? Seeems it would be good to integrate this more.
  In reply to @philosophypaul, @TinaCPrater
philosophypaul Apr 5 @ 12:48 PM EDT

#IOLchat Faculty may/may not review. Advisors must consider eligibility versus graduation date. No more aid = unlikely grad. date 4 some

Q2) What do students need to know before enrolling? #onlineeducation #financialaid #studentdebt #iolchat
philosophypaul Apr 5 @ 12:53 PM EDT

#IOLchat Before Ss enroll: aid available & eligible periods; comparative price; cost of living exp.; debt at grad.; anticipated grad. income

A2) estimated total cost of degree program #onlineeducation #financialaid #studentdebt #iolchat
In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

Absolutely! And that "total" can include a lot of things other than tuition. #iolchat
