Disbursement

With the exception of Chafee Grant, all financial aid, including Parent Plus loans, will first be applied to all charges, which includes but not limited to: Mandatory state, Campus fees, and housing charges - if residing on campus. Any remaining financial aid after all charges are paid are refunded to the student. Please see Student Business Services
