    • Loans disburse once a student begins attending at least half-time
    • Scholarships/Grants disburse once required enrollment hours are reached for the aid type (e.g. 12 hours).

    Refunds will be processed on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout Summer term.

    *Eligibility to use pending financial aid funds at the Bookstore will be determined on a case-by-case basis through the Student Account Services Manager.
