Payment of fees with financial aid<br />
The method for payment of fees varies with each type of aid<br />
program. Your award notification lists your financial aid<br />
eligibility by semesters at full-time status. The amount of aid<br />
typically available to you each semester is the amount listed.<br />
Your aid will be pro-rated for enrollments less than full-time<br />
(12 credit hours).<br />
Financial aid is first applied to the student’s tuition account.<br />
Any excess funds can be disbursed to you as a refund.<br />
• Financial aid funds will be applied to your account<br />
after your attendance is verified in all classes.<br />
• You will receive your financial aid refund<br />
after the term has begun.<br />
Distribution of refunds<br />
• Summer semester: third week of classes<br />
• Fall and spring semesters: fourth week of classes<br />
• First-time loan borrowers who are subject to the 30-day<br />
disbursement delay will not receive a refund of loan proceeds<br />
until the fifth week of classes.<br />
• Arrival of your refund depends on the refund preference you<br />
selected when you activated your <strong>Stark</strong> <strong>State</strong> Plus Card. Visit<br />
