Financial Aid Disbursement Information

Committed to making your education affordable

Students award disbursements are credited to their term bill. Disbursements may be made, at the university’s discretion, up to 10 days before the term starts.

However, if a student has not confirmed their attendance, completed verification, or provided a satisfactory academic progress academic plan (if required), the disbursement will be delayed until those requirements are met.

Notifications of Direct Loan disbursements are sent once the disbursement of the loan has been credited to the student’s term bill.
