The Financial Aid Office assists students in paying for college through the use of federal, state, private. and institutional financial aid programs. An important piece of that role is to help students and parents complete all of the appropriate paperwork so that various forms of financial aid can be disbursed to the student’s account by the time school starts in September.
The Student Accounts Office creates and maintains each student’s comprehensive fee billing statement and works with families to settle those accounts as they come due. We can answer specific questions about the student’s account and process credit balance refunds for students.
