Click to hideFinancial aid is awarded based on the expectation
that you will be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours
as an undergraduate student or 9 credit hours as a
graduate/professional/law student. You may not
qualify for all of your financial aid if you are not
enrolled in at least 12 hours as an undergraduate student
or 9 hours as a graduate/professional/law student.
What if I plan to add hours at a later date? If you are currently
enrolled in fewer than the minimum number of hours required to receive one or more of
your financial aid awards but plan to add hours at a later date, these awards will not
credit your university account nor appear as anticipated aid until you are enrolled in
at least 12 hours as an undergraduate or 9 hours as a graduate/professional/law student.
If you plan to add hours to meet the minimum hour requirement prior to the first day of
classes, your awards will be disbursed, provided you have a complete financial aid file.
If you plan to add hours, but cannot do so prior to the first day of classes, you can still
do so, but you will not receive your aid until you add hours.
What if I plan to maintain an enrollment of less than 12 hours (undergraduates)
or 9 hours (graduate/professional/law students)? If you plan to maintain an enrollment
of less than 12 hours an an undergraduate or 9 hours as a graduate/professional/law student,
you must report or update your enrollment status in
Enroll & Pay (Student Center>Accept/Decline Awards>
Award Package Page 2). If you are not able to enroll in 12 credit hours as an
undergraduate or 9 credit hours as a graduate/professional/law student, you may still
qualify for financial aid, but the OSFA must receive notification of your enrollment
status to determine your financial aid eligibility. Once you have updated your enrollment status,
your financial aid may be adjusted. This adjustment could result in a cancellation or reduction
of certain financial aid programs. If your enrollment status changes, it is your responsibility
to update your status in Enroll & Pay.
For more information on the minimum number of hours required for particular programs, please
see the Enrollment Requirements for Financial Aid Programs page or view the 2008-09 Financial Aid Programs at a Glance information sheet.
Attention Pell Grant Recipients: If you are a Federal Pell Grant recipient and
you are enrolled or are planning to enroll in less than 12 hours, you must update your enrollment
status in Enroll & Pay. The OSFA will review your enrollment
status and adjust your Pell Grant accordingly. If we make this adjustment and you increase your
enrollment on or after the first day of classes for the specified term, your grant cannot
be increased for those additional hours.
If your financial aid, scholarships or other payments exceed the amount on your eBill, you will have a credit balance on your account. Excess financial aid refunds are typically available 6 business days after your financial aid file becomes complete. The first day to obtain excess financial aid for the Fall 2008 term is August 19, 2008. Questions about financial aid that has not applied to your university account should be directed to the Office of Student Financial Aid.
The fastest way to get your refund is to elect to have your excess funds directly deposited into your checking or savings account. To set up direct deposit, complete the Direct Deposit Authorization form online in Enroll & Pay (Student Center>Set Up Direct Deposit). You can also set up direct deposit by filling out the following form and returning it to the Bursar's Office in Strong Hall, room 23. Your name must match the name(s) on the destination account.
Direct Deposit AuthorizationIf you have not elected to have your excess financial aid deposited directly into your bank account, your refund will be mailed to your billing address. Excess financial aid checks are no longer available for pickup. Questions about having excess financial aid funds deposited into your bank account should be directed to the Bursar's Office at (785) 864-3322.
