If you are a new student and are eligible for TOPS and the award does not appear on Webstar or on your FEE Bill, then it is possible that we are waiting on confirmation of your eligibility from the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance (LOSFA).  The Office of Student Financial Aid receives updated eligibility rosters from LOSFA on a weekly basis.  You may view your eligibility on LOSFA's website at www.osfa.la.gov. 

If you have received notice from LOSFA that you are eligible and you have not registered for classes, you should register for classes as soon as possible and also notify the Office of Student Financial Aid at finaid@uno.edu that TOPS has sent you a notice of eligibility.

If you are a Transfer student and you are TOPS eligible, you should register for classes and notify the financial aid office at finaid@uno.edu if your TOPS award is not posted.

Please continue to view WebStar weekly to confirm your award status.  You can also visit the TOPS website for the rights and responsibilities which details how you can maintain your TOPS each semester and other updated information at www.osfa.la.gov.
