Financial Aid News and Updates

Financial Aid Information for Summer 2025

View Your Award
Students may access their financial aid and/or any outstanding requirements by accessing the “Financial Aid Self Service” from Self-Service.

Students who do not have Financial Aid posted to their account must either pay out of pocket or they may set up a Tuition Payment Plan.

Last day to pay for Registration: May 18, 2025

*Remember for Financial Aid and/or VA enrollment status
Any courses that do not count toward a student’s current program of study will not be used to determine enrollment status for Financial Aid and/or VA unless they are eligible remedial courses.

Fast Track courses must be registered for by the 10% point of the semester (May 22, 2025) to be included in enrollment intensity (hours) for financial aid purposes unless the student first enrolls after the 10% point of the term.

Book Loan Information
We will start processing Book Emergency Loans beginning on May 5, 2025. Students needing a Book Emergency Loan must have applied for Financial Aid and be in good standing as far as their Satisfactory Academic Progress (2.0 GPA and have passed 67% of classes taken).

Students must have already registered and must have submitted all requested documents before they come to Financial Aid. The Datatel system will not allow us to process an emergency loan until the student has registered and the student's tuition payment has been covered.

Students with Book Emergency Loans can begin charging books on the same dates as all other Financial Aid students. See Below.

Charging Books in the Bookstore

All Financial Aid Students and/or Sponsored Students may charge books against their Financial Aid in the Bookstore on the following dates:

Financial Aid Disbursements and Refunds

Summer 2025 Financial Aid payments will be based on enrollment at the 10% point of the semester (May 22, 2025). Refunds will be available beginning on June 16, 2025. Financial Aid payments for any course that does not start at the beginning of the semester will not be paid out until after the course has started and attendance has been verified.

Important Note for Financial Aid Students and/or Sponsored Students regardless of when you register for classes:

Students with authorization forms from sponsors (WIA, VA, VOC REH, ESC, etc.) are required to turn forms in to the Business Office by the advertised payment deadline. A student ID and a copy of their schedule is required to go to the bookstore. May 22, 2025 will be the last day to charge books.
