One Stop: Outage, FAFSA, and Registration Updates

By University of Cincinnati Parent and Family Programs

Student Information System Planned Outage

Catalyst will be unavailable starting Wednesday, October 10th at 5:00 PM until Monday, October 15th at 8:00 AM. Students, parents and employees will not have access to our student information system during this time. Please plan accordingly as financial aid processing, bill payments and refunds, transcript orders, and all other Catalyst functions will not be able to be completed during this time.

FAFSA Reminder

FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) completion for 2019-2020 kicked off on October 1, 2018. Encourage your student to complete their FAFSA early as some funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The FAFSA is your student’s way to gain access to federal grants, loans and work study funds. The FAFSA will be completed using the student’s 2017 tax information and their FSA (Federal Student Aid) username and password at www.fafsa.gov. Contact the One Stop Center for questions at onestop@uc.edu, 513-556-1000 or on the 2nd floor of University Pavilion. Let the funds begin!

Spring 2019 Registration

In early October, your student will receive an email with their spring 2019 registration appointment time. Encourage your student to enroll in 15 credit hours each semester to graduate in four years! For the same flat rate, students can take between 12-18 credits per term, and thereby, save a lot of money!
