Financial Aid Deferment
The "Financial Aid Deferment" status is granted to a student's account when there is scheduled financial aid present but the actual disbursement occurs after classes have begun, following the date specified in their disbursement schedule. Essentially, a student's balance is "deferred" and no payment is required on the first day of class because financial aid is scheduled.
Undergraduate students must be scheduled at a half-time status (6 credits) in order to receive their financial aid within that specific term. If a student is half-time, the disbursement date will be the second week of class. If a student is less-than-half-time (< 6 credits), financial aid will not disburse until the student has reached half-time status within the trimester. For example, if a student is taking 3 credits in the Winter A term and 3 credits in the Winter C term the half-time FA requirement will be met in Winter C. This means that the disbursement date for funds for both Winter A & Winter C will align with the second week of the Winter C term.
If an account balance is not covered by Financial Aid, the remaining balance is due 30 days after the last term of the trimester. For example, if financial aid covers only a portion of Winter A and Winter C charges, anything remaining will be due 30 days after Winter C starts.
