Remember that 'audit' hours and 'non-required academic assistance' courses are not considered in calculating your enrollment for Financial Aid Disbursement Purposes. If the postmaster cannot forward your check, it may be returned to the Student Loans, Grants and Scholarships Department. Click here for instructions. Federal and State regulations and University policy require that aid not be disbursed earlier than 10 days prior to the first day of classes as published by the University. If you intend to use your Financial Aid to pay for the program expenses, you will need to be prepared to pay for those expenses in advance and be reimbursed when the disbursement is allowed.
Financial aid is awarded to be used for education related expenses.
However, if you receive your Financial Aid checks and subsequently decide not to attend The University of Georgia, your checks must be returned to the University immediately. Financial Aid received through The University of Georgia cannot be used at another institution. If you fail to attend classes and you receive your financial aid check, the check must be returned. I don't have a copy of my promissory note. You must be awarded HOPE on your University of Georgia Financial Aid Award Letter before funds can be disbursed to you.
