Special Reminders
There are two Financial Aid disbursements per semester for those with completed files at the beginning of the semester.
Disbursements happen on a weekly basis, as files are completed.
You will not be awarded for waitlisted classes, unless you are registered in the class before Census Date. We will not adjust awards for students with completed files after that date.
