Financial Aid News and Updates

Financial Aid Information for Fall 2024

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 that 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: August 14th

*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 for remedial courses. Fast Track courses must be registered for by the 10% point of the semester (August 26th) to be included in enrollment hours for financial aid purposes.

Book Loan Information
We will start processing Book Emergency Loans beginning on August 5th. 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:

  • August 5th – August 26th: During Normal Bookstore Hours
  • August 26th is the last day to charge Books against your Financial Aid including Fast Track courses. Student ID is required. 

Class Schedules can be printed from Self-Service

Important: Out-of-stock books must be pre-charged against your Financial Aid on the last two days to charge August 25th and August 26th. A charge slip must be completed. There will be NO book charges after August 26th (no exceptions). 

Financial Aid Disbursements and Refunds

Fall 2024 Financial Aid payments will be based on enrollment at the 10% point of the semester (August 26th). Refunds will be available beginning on September 25th. 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. There will be no in-person pick-up for refunds.

You should be receiving your Refund Selection Kit from BankMobile in the mail if you have not already received
one. Disbursement of Funds will depend on the preference you select. Please go to Refund Selection to
select your refund preference if you have not already done so. You may contact the Business Office if you have
questions regarding your refund options. 

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

Students who have Financial Aid posted to their Self-Service account do not need to report to the Business Office unless they are also sponsored students (WIA, VA, VR, VOC REH, etc.) that have not already submitted a written authorization to the Business Office.

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. August 26th will be the last day to charge books.
