We make every effort to maintain the published disbursement schedule; however it is subject to change.
Your federal and state financial aid funds will first be used to pay any existing charges for the CURRENT term.
For example:
Please Note: Current term financial aid cannot be used to automatically pay down a past term's outstanding balance. Outstanding balances for a prior term will need to be paid by the student (a Payment Plan is an option).
Each semester's Pell Grant (FPELL) is divided into equal portions and disbursed according to the schedule below. The schedule assumes that your financial aid file is complete (that is, you have no missing documents) by the time the term begins. Pell Grant disbursements are based on your enrollment intensity at the time of census every semester. Please review your specific course information as census dates can vary.
If you withdraw from a course after the census date, it will not affect your enrollment intensity for financial aid purposes, but the withdrawal will still count in your Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) calculation. However, if you withdraw from ALL your courses for the term, you may be subject to Return to Title IV and may owe financial aid funds back.
