Disbursement Policy

How Student Aid is Distributed

Financial Aid is based on Degree-Approved Courses you are registered for at midnight on the census date. The census date is the point at which enrollment is locked for financial aid purposes. Each term, a census is taken at the end of the last day a student can drop classes for a full refund. Our census date is the Monday of the second week of each term, unless Monday is a holiday and then the census date will move to the Tuesday of the second week of the term.

Aid is first applied to tuition, fees, and other authorized charges. Any remaining funds are then refunded to the student by the Business Office. Work-Study earnings are disbursed monthly through the College’s regular payroll process.
