The award offer must be accepted, signed, and returned to the Financial Aid Office within a designated period of time. Any award not accepted is subject to cancellation. Students determined to be ineligible for financial aid are notified after the applications are received and reviewed. Financial aid is credited to students' accounts after classes begin, but not before the add-drop period is completed.
All aid is used first to cover students' University charges.
Refunds of aid to students will be made only after the account balance has been paid in full. In order to retain eligibility for financial aid from year to year, students must meet the University's standards of academic progress. If minimum standards are not met by the end of the probationary semester, the student will be ineligible for financial aid. All amounts not covered by financial aid must be paid in full by the student or parent by the end of each semester. In no case will students with outstanding balances for prior semesters be permitted to register.
