What happens to excess financial aid?
Excess financial aid (money exceeding all student charges) is distributed in check form directly to the student. Checks must be mailed and cannot be picked up. Students may also arrange to have their excess financial aid distributed electronically to their savings or checking account by signing up for Direct Deposit (see form). Students who have a Achieve Financial account may arrange to have both Direct Deposit and access to those funds utilizing the CCSU ID as an ATM card.
