7. 贷款咨询

If you are receiving a Federal Direct Loan for the 1st time, you MUST complete Loan Entrance 咨询 before the 1st disbursement. 完整的 贷款咨询. 

8. 财政援助发放

金融援助 is disbursed during 学费 and Fee Payment which usually occurs during the 3rd week of class.  Check the academic calendar for specific dates. Financial aid disbursement is based on the student’s enrollment status as of the 10th calendar day of each semester. Students must be registered in all classes, 在所有会议中, and in terms for the semester before that date so financial aid eligibility can be accurately calculated. Students who register for classes after their financial aid has been disbursed are responsible for paying the tuition for that class. Credits dropped after financial aid has been disbursed but before the class begins will result in a recalculation in financial aid. The student may owe money back to the financial aid programs.

Most 金融援助 (grants, 贷款, scholarships, 等.) directly credits against the amount the student owes for direct costs such as tuition, 费用, 校内住宿和食物, 书, 等. Financial aid that exceeds the balance is “excess aid” and is disbursed to the student at the 业务 Office after direct costs are paid. Direct Loan funds received from the Department of Education or funds received from an alternative loan, 通过电子资金转账, are credited directly to your college account. The student may deposit their excess financial aid directly into their bank account by completing the direct deposit form on 校园连接.
