Loan Schedules and Disbursements for Bachelor's Degree-Seeking Students
Financial aid is packaged based on award years. Each award year consists of two trimesters. Within an award year, your Financial Aid will be divided into 4 separate disbursements. Financial aid is disbursed within the parent terms of the trimester only. For Burgundy track students, parent terms are considered the A and the C terms which means that aid will not disburse in the overlapping B term. For Gold track students, parent terms are considered the B and the D terms which means that aid will not disburse in the overlapping C term.
Financial Aid will not disburse unless you have reached at least half time status in the trimester. For graduate students, half time status is 3 credit hours within the trimester. For undergraduate students, half time status is 6 credit hours within the trimester.
Example: If an undergraduate student on the burgundy track takes 6 credits in the "A" term and 6 credits in the "C" term, they will receive one disbursement in the A term and another disbursement in the C term. If a student takes only 3 credits in the A term and 3 credits in the C term, they will receive both disbursements in the C term since that is when they will reach the required 6 credits. If the student were to also take a course in the "B" term, the charges associate with this term will be deferred to the C term due date. Any financial aid that pays out during the C term will go towards the B & C terms. Any cost not covered by financial aid is the responsibility of the student and must be paid no later than 30 days after the start of the C term.
Students can find approximate dates for when their aid should disburse on the academic calendar for their track.
