Scholarship Disbursement Information
Scholarship Funds Released to Student’s Accounts (Disbursements)
Scholarship funds are credited to each student’s account at the beginning of each enrollment period as long as the student continues to remain eligible, has completed all application requirements, and is registered for sufficient credit hours.
Tuition is due on the first day of class. If a scholarship or federal aid is still pending for any reason, the student should pay tuition to avoid a $50 late fee.
Important: although scholarship funds are credited to a student’s account and the student may have a credit balance, the student may NOT obtain cash from the Cashiers. Credit balances will be refunded to the student in the form of refund check that will be available at a later date. (See Refund Checks below.)
The 2007-08 schedule for funds to be credited to students accounts is as follows.

Refund Checks
After the charges listed above have been paid, if the student still has a credit balance on her account, a refund check will be processed. The first series of refund checks will be available for students to pick up usually at the Payroll Window (located at Financial Services in the administration building) on the THIRD day of classes, which is the FRIDAY following the first day of class. If the check is not picked up in a timely manner, it will be mailed to the student’s current mailing address.
After the first full week of school, refund checks will be available each Monday and Thursday.
Book Money
Due to institutional changes, students must plan appropriately in order to have sufficient funds to buy books at the beginning of each enrollment period. Cash refunds for credit balances are no longer available from the Cashiers, and the first Refund Check is available two days after the first day of school instead of two days before the first day of school.
Students are encouraged to save $300 - $400 prior to the beginning of each enrollment period in order to have sufficient funds to purchase books.If the student does not have funds to purchase books prior to the first day of school, but is expecting a Refund Check, she may opt to wait to purchase books until after receiving the Refund Check on the third day of classes.If the student does not want to wait to purchase books until the third day of school when the Refund Check is available, the student may use a credit card to purchase the books, or apply for a Book Loan in order to obtain books for the first few days of school.
