Disbursements require a signed verification of attendance and satisfactory academic progress from the instructor. The disbursement process starts then. It usually takes 10 days to have the disbursement cycle completed. It is a joint process shared by the Financial Aid Office, Student Accounts, and the Finance Department. The computer as well as Financial Aid Staff reviews your attendance percentage and the required hours for each block.
Financial aid can only accept official hours reported by the instructor to student records.
No, but we do try to have your funds available the Thursday after you start school. You may be able to make up some or all of the hours missed. Some classes are not able to accommodate make up hours. The make up hours must be reported on the official attendance reported to the Student Records office. A one-time leave can be granted for extreme circumstances if you have been absent consecutive days due to an unavoidable situation.
