Financial aid for tuition and fee charges will be applied to student’s accounts during the week<br />
prior to the established start <strong>of</strong> the payment period each semester. Financial aid and SCU<br />
scholarships are first applied directly to a student’s account to pay mandatory charges for<br />
tuition, fees, and other <strong>University</strong> charges. If you have financial aid funds that exceed the<br />
charges on your student account at the time <strong>of</strong> disbursement, you will receive a refund, which<br />
may be used to pay other educationally related expenses. (Note that if subsequent charges are<br />
made to your account, you are responsible for paying them.<br />
