Once a week, financial aid funds are credited to students' University accounts to pay any current charges. If your financial aid is greater than the amount owed on the your account, a check for the balance will be mailed to you about 5-7 days after your account has been credited. For most aid programs, you must be registered for at least 6 credit hours. If you are registered for fewer than 12 hours, some programs will allow you to received a lowered amount.
Most scholarships require full-time enrollment.
When the University determines the expected costs for an academic year, the OSFA considers one figure for housing. This figure is used regardless of whether a student lives in the residence hall or an apartment. Total aid eligibility does not increase or decrease according to housing arrangements. In order to determine eligibility for financial aid, it is necessary to have the most accurate and recent information that can be verified. That is why the prior year's income information is requested.
