The Financial Aid Office will begin to process financial aid applications for the fall term in the preceding spring. First-time, full-time freshmen financial aid awarding will begin for new students in mid-late April. Processing of financial aid awards for continuing students begins in late June. New transfer students will begin to be processed in mid-June. All students are formally notified of their financial aid awards in a letter sent to the home address via the US mail.
Once application processing begins, financial aid applications are reviewed weekly on a continuous basis. If you complete your financial aid application after July 1 and do not receive a financial aid award letter within three weeks of the date your application was complete, please contact our office.
When Will I Receive My Financial Aid?
Financial aid administered by the University Financial Aid Office is paid (disbursed) to you no sooner than 10 days prior to the start date of each term, provided that you have:
- Responded to all requests from the Financial Aid Office for additional information.
- Enrolled at least half-time (6 hours for undergraduates, 4.5 hours for graduate students). Please note that many grants and scholarships require full-time enrollment before disbursement.
- Completed/signed all applicable Master Promissory Notes (MPN) and entrance interviews required for student loans.
