Adjustments to Financial Aid
Financial Aid is processed throughout the year. Although we attempt to have
students’ financial aid completed by the beginning of each academic year so that
refunds are available to students; loans, scholarships, grants, and other types of
aid may be received by the University after the start of each semester. In
addition, federal and state verification continues throughout the academic year.
There are other reasons that your financial aid may be adjusted, even if you have
already received a refund. Some of these reasons include:
Your eligibility for federal or state grants may have changed as a result of
federal or state verification (your grants may have been reduced).
Your enrollment status may have changed (full-time, part-time).
You may have made a change in your housing status (commuter, oncampus, off-campus).
You may have received an over award of financial aid, and your grants,
scholarships, or loans may need to be reduced.
You may have withdrawn from the University, or you may have dropped or
added classes after your charges were calculated.
Your eligibility for aid may have changed as a result of an appeal—either
for special conditions, for being considered an independent student, or for
an exception to the Academic Progress regulations.
If your financial aid is reduced, and you received a refund, you must repay
the University the amount of the over award, in addition to any late fees.
