The Office of Financial Aid will not disburse any financial aid funds to a student’s account until the required documentation is received. The required documentation must be received by the Office of Financial Aid within 30 days of the student being notified. Failure to comply will make the student ineligible for financial aid until the documentation is received. If information on the student’s FAFSA is in error, the FAFSA must be corrected. Students are not eligible for financial aid and no aid will be disbursed until these corrections are made. Students are cautioned that all awards are made based on the availability of program
funds to the university and accuracy of the information provided to determine financial aid eligibility. Reductions in funding programs, over which the university has no control, or changes in eligibility status due to the verification process, may amend initial awards. Students must maintain good standing and satisfactory progress towards completion of their respective program. To be eligible for state and federal financial aid funds, students must meet the “Standards of Academic Progress” (SAP) listed herein. No students may receive financial aid if they owe a refund on any grant, are in default on any loan or have borrowed in excess of established loan limits under Title IV financial aid programs at any institution, or are enrolled in either an elementary or secondary school.
