When Will Aid be Applied to My Student Account at 黑料不打烊?
When will my financial assistance award be applied (disbursed) to my account with the University to pay my charges for tuition, etc? When do I receive my financial aid money?
Your Financial Assistance Awards, except campus employment wages, will be applied to pay your charges once you have completed these steps:
- You have accepted or Declined each award offered on your my黑料不打烊 Portal Account, and
- You have submitted all required documents, and
- For first-time Direct student loan borrowers, you have completed your Entrance Counseling and your Master Promissory Note at the .
- For prior Direct student loan borrowers, you have completed the Annual student Loan Acknowledgement at the .
The U.S. Department of Education allows us to post the Financial Aid awards to your account no earlier than ten (10) days before the first day of classes for each term. However, modular schedules require that disbursement be postponed until the student has attended sufficient units to be eligible for the award. Undergraduate Summer Session, all eight-week courses, and all graduate courses are modular and are therefore affected in this way.
Processing of aid begins at the completion of the Add/Drop period for each term.
