News and Events

Students who have completed all requirements will begin to receive 2008-09 Award Notices the 2nd week of April.

Summer financial aid eligibility will be reviewed beginning in March as students begin to register for summer classes. Students who are registered for the minimum number of hours (6 undergraduate, 5 graduate) and are meeting other eligibility criteria will be reviewed. If you have summer eligibility, you will receive an email award notice directing you to Tigeri to view your award. If you do not have summer eligibility, you will receive an email to that affect. Students who have used all of their eligibility for fall and spring terms have the option of applying for a PLUS Parent Loan for an Alternative Loan. Both require credit checks.

Summer Disbursement and Enrollment Requirements:
Enrollment requirements are the same for summer term as they are for fall and spring terms. Half time enrollment is required for loan funds and full time enrollment is required for most grant funds. Pell grant funds are prorated based on hours.

Students enrolled half time only for the 2nd summer mini session will not have funds disbursed until just before the start date of the 2nd mini session.

If you enroll in 3 credit hours for the first or full session and 3 hours for the 2nd session, your funds will disburse at the beginning of the 1st session. However, if you drop your class for the 2nd mini session, you become less than half time and therefore ineligible for the funds. In this case, funds will be billed back to your account and due immediately.

Students who are not enrolled half time will not be eligible for aid. Half time enrollment for undergraduates is 6 hours, half time for graduate students is 5 hours.
