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 one week before the first day of class. If the student has sufficient anticipated aid to cover all charges on the student account and has signed the "Federal Authorization Form" at Accounts Receivable and Financial Aid, then the account will be considered paid in full. Final Payment Deadline will be 11:59pm of the day after the add/drop deadline. This is hard deadline with the consequence being classes are dropped for any student who has any unpaid charges with no reinstatement.
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.)

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). If the check is not picked up in a timely manner, it will be mailed to the student’s current mailing address.
Book Money
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, a student may apply for a book loan as long as they do not have a payment plan breach.
