Academic Engagement
Before financial aid is disbursed, the University must be able to document that a student has begun attendance in the courses for which they will receive funds. We receive this information from faculty members at the start of the semester.

Repeated Coursework
Students are only able to receive Title IV Aid (federal financial aid) for any previously passed course one time. This means that once a student passes a course, financial aid will only pay for the student to take that course one more time, regardless of whether they pass or fail the course the second time.

Disbursements
Financial Aid disbursement is payment of financial aid funds from sources, including the federal or state governments, the school or a private student loan lender to the university. Each semester funds are disbursed to the university.
