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 opens four weeks before the beginning of term and closes two weeks after the start of term (the second Friday after the beginning of term).​ Any unused portion of a book voucher amount will be credited back to a student’s account within 30 days after expiration.
