Disbursement Policy

Students who accept federal student loans will receive incremental disbursements (residual funds left over after all tuition and fees are paid for) within each semester. Loans will be split in half each semester and the first disbursement will take place at the normal disbursement time. The second half will be set for the week after midterm grades are due. You will not receive their second disbursement if:
