How and when will financial aid be disbursed?
In order to received funds as indicated on your award letter, you must sign, initial the awards accepted, and return the award letter to the Financial Aid Office. In addition, you must sign and return all promissory notes. If this is your first loan you must view the pre-loan video and receive loan counseling. Some loan recipients are required to take a test concerning pre-loan counseling. After the first week of school, your enrollment status will be checked. If your enrollment status is equal to or greater than the required hours, your eligibility will be checked electronically and your account will be credited. A check will be prepared for the balance of your funds on the second weekend of classes. Further awards to student accounts are processed and checks are mailed to students no later than Wednesday. Federal Work-Study and Student Help employees are paid in the middle of each month. These checks must be picked up at the Cashier’s window in Hearnes Hall.
