  • Title IV Permissions + Balances / Refunds

    Federal aid cannot apply to all charges without the completion of these permissions so a refund may be issued.  Click here.

    Aid will be listed on the bill as anticipated until disbursement begins, which typically begins 10 days before the start of the semester, and/or pending documents are completed.

    In order to receive your aid you will need to maintain a Full-time course load, to have institutional and state aid (EASE Grant) applied, and a minimum of part-time courseload  to allow federal aid to disburse. You should be in the appropiate course load by the last day to add a class to avoid any issue.   Learn more.
