Financial Aid Package Issue

I accepted an offer at a school and looked at my financial aid package for the first time. I read over it and they have given my the award based on the tuition rate of an IS student, not an OOS student (which I am). I checked it over, it is for the entire year and the letter online says I am an non-resident but factors in the resident rate. Has this happened to anyone? It is too late to call them about it, I wont accept the offer until it is corrected.

Thanks!

ok so I figured it out, my financial aid package relfects the general tuition rate for graduate students, not veterinary students, which is much more. Im assuming I should still call them to change it because their total package (living expenses, books added in) is less than the tuition for veterinary students.
