Prior to the beginning of the Fall semester, the Office of Student Accounts will also defer to estimated financial aid. Financial aid deferrals will appear on the student invoice. Students should take into consideration only the aid that they plan to accept when determining how much they need to pay. I am taking out a Stafford loan. You will need to complete an entrance interview if this is the first time that you are borrowing a Stafford loan while at SUNY New Paltz.
Financial aid is handled differently in the summer, however.
You will need to take care of everthing prior to the end of the Spring semester, otherwise you will need to pay for your summer courses and use any aid as a reimbursement later. Also, the Student Accounts Office will defer to financial aid for the summer only if you are enrolled for 6 credits or more. So please, review your financial needs, and make sure you have enough funds available to be able to pay for Summer Session I and all of your living expenses using your own personal funds. Your aid may not be available until after Summer Session II begins, and we cannot defer to the Summer Session II aid to pay for Summer Session I. 8. Prior to the beginning of the Fall semester, the Office of Student Accounts will defer to estimated financial aid.
