Managing Your Award

Take a couple minutes to learn how to keep your awarded financial aid and future financial aid eligibility to avoid situations that will affect you negatively.

• Read up on the Satisfactory Academic Progress guidelines.

• What happens to your financial aid when you drop or withdraw from class?

• What happens to your financial aid if you change your program / major?

• Have you read through the Financial Aid Handbook yet?

• Get familiar with the specific eligibility criteria for each of your awarded federal and state grants and loans, private loans, scholarships, and other awarded aid.

​Prior to the disbursement of financial aid funds, information is reviewed to ensure that students meet the award and eligibility criteria for each award. If updated information is received after the disbursement of financial aid funds, financial aid eligibility may be adjusted. In some instances such a change can result in the student owing a balance due to the Business Office. Examples of changes in information that could impact a student's financial aid eligibility include, but are not limited to, changes in program of study or enrollment level, the receipt of a default notification on a student's prior Federal (Subsidized, Unsubsidized, and/or Perkins) student loan(s), or a change to FAFSA information that requires a review.
