Important Tips
- If you are expecting financial aid to cover your tuition and fees, be sure to apply early, as it can take some time to complete the required paperwork and process.
- If you plan to pay for the Winter 2024 session with financial aid, it must be transferred from either Fall 2023 or Spring 2024 financial aid credit. See the Bursar’s Office for a Financial Aid Transfer Authorization Form.
- There are no book deferrals for the Winter session.
- Your FM e-mail is our official means of contacting you. Be sure to check your FM e-mail regularly for billing updates and other important information!
- If you are not planning to attend, you must officially cancel your enrollment through the Student Development Center before the first day of classes, or you will still be billed for the semester.
- Financial aid refund dates vary per individual; however, we generally begin releasing them as follows:
-
- Spring loans – Late February
- Spring grants – Mid April
