The
disbursement of Financial Aid for most students occurs after the drop/add
period has ended for the term.
Financial Aid Funds are applied toward outstanding balances. If funds
remain after tuition, fees and all outstanding charges are paid, the remaining
funds are prepared in a check for disbursement to the student.
This check is referred to as a change check. During completion
of your Financial Aid file, you have the opportunity to give the College
permission to apply your Financial Aid funds toward any unpaid balance you
may have. These items may include, but are not limited to, tuition,
fees, textbook charges, library fines, parking tickets, returned check charges,
etc.
Students who receive their award notification after the initial disbursement
date for the term can expect their funds to be prepared for disbursement
from the Cashier's Window within one to two weeks. In all cases,
the student's change check will be held for three days. If it remains
unclaimed after the third day, the Cashier's Office will mail your change
check to your home address. All address information is handled by
the Admissions Office. Therefore, it is very important that you keep your
address updated at all times with the Admissions Office.
To avoid long lines on disbursement day, we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE the use of
direct deposit for your change check. If you would like to have your change
check directly deposited into your bank account, please complete the DIRECT
DEPOSIT form and submit it to the Cashier's Office for processing.
