Financial Aid Updates Are
you graduating in August? Is your tuition balance paid? If
you are not sure about the answers to these questions, you need to contact
the Office of Student Financial Services. Please call our main lines
to be directed to the appropriate staff member, either a Student Account
Representative or a Financial Aid Officer. Our main lines are x2001
and x2009. Our summer hours are 8:30am - 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. The cashier's window closes at 4pm, Monday through Thursday and at 1pm on Fridays during the summer. Are you returning for the fall semester? Fall bills will be mailed in the upcoming weeks and any balance due must be paid by August 15th. If your financial aid from all sources will cover the balance, you do not need to make payment. The scheduled disbursement date for fall loans is September 23rd. Please plan accordingly. Student Account Representatives are available to answer your billing questions. Students who will need advances or book vouchers are encouraged to contact their assigned Financial Aid Officer no earlier than the week before classes begin. You will need to come to the Main Campus Building to process both a book voucher and an advance. Students who want book vouchers should have an estimate of the cost of their books before requesting a voucher. During the first week of classes the Office of Student Financial Services will be meeting with students on a walk-in basis only. Please be prepared to wait a few minutes to see a financial aid officer or account representative during that week. Walk-in appointments will be available after this week, however, students are encouraged to make a scheduled appointment with their assigned financial aid officer during other times of the year. Winter office hours will resume during the first week of class in September. Winter office hours are 8:30am - 5:30pm, Monday through Thursday and 8:30am - 4:30pm on Fridays. We will have extended hours during the first week of classes.
