Financial Aid Distributions
-Effective for students
starting a new semester Summer I, 2021 term or later, financial aid recipients enrolled in an Online program or School of Education program will now receive their full
financial aid disbursement and full stipend (when applicable) at the beginning
of each semester.
Financial aid and stipends (when
applicable) will be disbursed every-other term, so students no longer need to
wait for two separate distributions. Students with applicable credit
balances will now receive a single stipend at the beginning of a semester that
will cover two online terms. Therefore, it will be critical for
students to budget accordingly to ensure sufficient funds are available to
cover both online terms in a semester.
-Students enrolled in an Online or School of Education program starting a new semester on or after Summer 2, 2021 term can request only one
voucher amount to purchase books and supplies to cover both online terms. The
book voucher expiration dates are extended to expire approximately 2 weeks
after the start of the 2nd term. Any unused portion of a book
voucher amount will be credited back to a student’s account within 30 days
after expiration.
