My Advisee chose all online classes at registration. What sort of financial aid funding is available for a laptop and/or other computer equipment?
We strongly encourage advisors to ask probing questions ahead of registration, about the student's preparedness for success in online courses. If a student does not already have or is unable to secure a dependable computer prior to the start of the term, financial aid timelines are not able to accommodate their need.
Students may request loan funds for computer purchases. Student loans must be repaid, and money is not available until 30 days after the start of the semester. The request of loan funds and the request for a computer purchase are separate processes, and students should be referred to the Financial Aid Office for assistance navigating these.
