For all types of financial aid, including all types of federal, state, and institutional grants and loans, disbursement begins the business day after the last day to add or drop classes with a 100% tuition refund each semester. For summer term, this date is the business day after the last day to add or drop classes with a 100% refund for the last session a student is enrolled in for summer.
Disbursement dates are coordinated with the Student Accounts Office in order to facilitate issuing refunds within the 14 days required for a Title IV credit balance.
Students are eligible to have their financial aid disbursed only if all the following are true:
- All required financial aid documents are submitted and reviewed by the Financial Aid Office (see note below)
- Enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate seeking program
- Enrolled in the same number of credits on which their financial aid eligibility is based
Note: If documents required for federal/state aid are not processed or complete by the scheduled disbursement date, all institutional aid will be disbursed.
Prior to disbursing any financial aid, all of the items above are reviewed and checked for each student.
Financial aid is disbursed into the student’s account on campus where it automatically goes toward paying institutional charges.
