Frozen Apple

The Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program will face rival Cornell in a non-conference game during the 2024 Frozen Apple at Madison Square Garden on November 30.

Quinnipiac is coming off a 27-10-2 campaign in 2023-24, registering a 17-4-1 mark in conference play to record its fourth consecutive Cleary Cup. The Bobcats became the second ECAC Hockey program on record to win at least a share of the Cleary Cup in four straight campaigns, joining Harvard (1985-89), who won the regular-season title outright three times (1986, 1987, 1989) and splitting the honor with St. Lawrence in 1988.

"We are very excited to head back to Madison Square Garden and participate in this year's Frozen Apple," said Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold. "It was a very memorable contest in 2016 and we can't wait to get back to MSG for another great chapter in our rivalry with Cornell."

What’s New from Financial Aid

Welcome, new students! And welcome back to our returning students!

The Financial Aid Office is here to provide information, support and guidance to students and families as they navigate through the various resources necessary to fund their education. First, we encourage all students to complete a FAFSA at studentaid.gov if they have not already done so. This is the first step in determining what types of federal, state and institutional financial aid a student may be eligible for. And please remember, the FAFSA needs to be completed each year! From there, the financial aid staff will put together an award package of all the financial aid a student is qualified for.

After an award package has been generated, please keep an eye on your Financial Aid Checklist to ensure all outstanding requirements have been met.

Ensure your Financial Aid Checklist is Complete! Your financial aid checklist must be complete for your aid to reflect accurately against your invoice. This includes sections such as:

• Complete the required documents*

• Review and accept your financial aid award package

• Complete Entrance Counseling

• Sign a Direct Loan Master Promissory Note

*When you submit the FAFSA, you may be randomly selected for a process called “verification.” Our office must determine the accuracy of the information provided on your FAFSA application by requesting and reviewing additional documentation.

For those students and families that are looking for additional resources to help fund their education please see the following recommendations that a student can explore:

Outside Scholarships: Many students use outside scholarships as a resource to help with funding their education. We encourage all students to research outside scholarship opportunities. Learn more about searching for scholarships.

Federal Parent PLUS Loan: The federal government offers each parent the opportunity to apply for a Parent PLUS loan. This is an educational loan in which the parent is the borrower, and the parent is responsible for repaying the loan.  The borrower can begin repaying the loan once the funds are fully disbursed to Quinnipiac for the loan term or defer payments while their student is attending school on at least a half-time basis. The interest rate on the Parent PLUS loan is fixed at 9.08% for the 2024-2025 academic year. The loan application is located at studentaid.gov. The borrowing parent will sign in to the website using their FSA (Federal Student Aid) ID, which is the same login used to complete the parent portion of the FAFSA. There is an option to create an ID on the website if you do not already have one. The government charges an origination fee for borrowing this loan. The fee is 4.3% of the borrowed amount of the loan. Remember to add this fee into the amount you decide to borrow. 

If a parent is denied credit for the PLUS loan, a first year or sophomore student will be offered an additional $4000 unsubsidized federal student loan ($5000 for juniors and seniors) as part of their financial aid offer for the school year. Parent PLUS will notify the school of the parent's credit decision in 24 to 48 hours. This additional student loan is allowable only if the PLUS loan decision is not overturned on appeal or endorsed for payment. Note: if one parent is denied credit but the other parent is approved to borrow the PLUS loan, the additional student loan is not allowable. Parent PLUS can be reached at 1-800-433-3243 with any questions regarding the application process.

Private Educational Loans: Private loans are available to students, parents or guardians. Please refer to elmselect.com, an unbiased website providing the most current information on private lenders historically used by Quinnipiac students. There you will find the link to each lender, their loan applications and information pertinent to their loan products. There is no one lender more favorable than the other. Please contact the lender(s) you are considering for specific questions relating to your financial situation. While the website provides a comprehensive list of lenders, you can choose to work with a lender not reflected on Elm Select. No matter which lender you choose, they will notify the Financial Aid Office once the loan is secured.

Please note: Undergraduate students must have a credit worthy co-signer to secure a private loan.

Questions

For any questions or to speak with a financial aid counselor, please call 203-582-8750 or visit the Financial Aid Office in the Echlin Center. Counselors are available Monday – Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

One Stop Office (Student Administrative Services)

One Stop provides seamless and integrated student administrative services throughout the entire student life cycle. One Stop includes cross-functional student solutions for:

• records and enrollment services

• managing student finances

• parking and transportation services

(One Stop works closely with and can provide preliminary information about financial aid, Q-Cards, housing and dining. Advanced registrar functions such as degree conferrals, Dean’s List and diplomas are administered through the Registrar.)

• Email: onestop@qu.edu

• Call: 203-582-8650

Fall Reminders

We encourage all students to check their accounts in Self-Service once a month. 
If a student fails to pay their outstanding balance the university will place a hold on the account. If a student has a hold on their account, the university reserves the right to:

• Prohibit students from registering for classes

• Restrict student access to view final grades

• Withhold diplomas

• Prohibit students from working at a university-sponsored job

• Prohibit participation in the room reservation lottery

• Charge a 1% monthly late fee of the total balance

• Transfer the account to an outside collection agency

Proxies

Students may authorize a proxy (parent, guardian, spouse or other individual) to have access to Self-Service to make payments on behalf of the student or to view grades. In addition, authorizing a proxy also allows the appropriate Quinnipiac faculty and staff to discuss relevant matters with the proxy.  Learn more about Proxy Access.

One Stop Hours of Operation 

• M, T, Th, F: 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

• Wednesday: 10:15 a.m. to 5 p.m.

We receive a large volume of correspondence and it may take us one to two days to respond to your request. Email onestop@qu.edu remains the most efficient way to reach our office.  We kindly ask you not to send multiple messages or leave multiple voicemails within a couple of days.  Our correspondence gets distributed among the team and multiple correspondence often ends in multiple members of our team doing the same research and responding multiple times and thus makes our queues longer. In the unlikely event that your original correspondence is not replied to within three business days, we apologize and encourage you to please contact us again.

Please reference the following for assistance as needed:

• Self-Service Student Finance Guide provides complete instructions on using Self-Service to set up a proxy, view and pay invoices and set up a payment plan.

• Managing Student Finances pages show cost of attendance and financial aid options.

• The One Stop webpage provides answers to many questions and the frequently asked questions page is a particularly helpful resource.

• Email onestop@qu.edu for questions about billing and payment.

• Email finaid@qu.edu for questions about financial aid.
