How Does Financial Aid Affect My Bill?
Accepted financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships and loans are posted to student accounts as estimated credits against tuition and related charges. If you have completed all financial aid requirements you don't need to pay the amount of these expected credits by the tuition deadline.
How Do I Receive My Living Expense Aid?
Financial Aid funds (not including Federal Work-Study) in excess of tuition and other charges will be available as a refund for living expenses after financial aid actually disburses at the start of the semester. Refunds may be requested at that time through the Student Accounts section of MyAccess.
