Frequently Asked Questions

We realize this is a busy time of year for you but would like to remind you it is not too early to begin planning your finances for the summer 2007 semester. Below are some of the most commonly asked questions about financing your education. We hope you find them helpful.

When do I have to pay my bill for the summer semester?
Bills are mailed for the summer 2007 semester to all registered students the beginning of May. Payment for the summer semester is due in full prior to the semester start. Students who register after the first billing in May will still receive a bill but are required to make payment prior to semester start. If full payment or other arrangements have not been made by the start of classes, a service charge of $50.00 may be assessed to the students account.
What if I am a student receiving Financial Aid?
Financial Aid is not disbursed to student accounts until 30 days after the start of a semester. Students who have been awarded financial aid in the form of loans and/or grants may deduct the awarded amounts from the bill ONLY when a signed copy of the "financial aid award letter/payment Deferment letter" has been returned to the Financial Aid Office prior to the payment due date or you could be subject to a service charge of $50.00. If you have not submitted the required documentation, the loan cannot be deducted from the bill and you must use the college payment plan. Remember to deduct any fees that may apply to the federal loans and if you have an alternative loan, check with the loan company to find out about any fees that need to be deducted from the loan prior to disbursement. Also remember if awarded a loan you must also complete the loan application as well as entrance counseling. Your loan will not be disbursed until all requirements are met. If you are unable to pay your entire bill or the balance after the anticipated financial aid, then you should consider the FACTS payment plan. The plan costs $30.00 per semester and that amount plus semester charges are spread over monthly payments during the fall semester.
If my financial aid exceeds my institute charges, when can I expect to receive a refund?
The process of generating refund checks and making sure all monies were applied to student's accounts correctly is very time consuming for both the Financial Aid Office and the Bursar's Office. Federal guide- lines allow the school 14 days from the date of disbursement to cut a refund check to the student. In order to be fair to all students, refund checks will not be released until all Stafford Loan checks with the same disbursement date are ready. Refund dates are advertised on a bulletin board outside the Bursar's Office. All refunds are mailed. We do not know loan disbursement dates. To find out this date you should check with the lender. REMEMBER: Refunds will not be available for you to purchase your books so you must be prepared to pay for your books out of your own pocket.
