The Office of Financial Aid is mandated by the federal government to assure that each and every student, who receives federal financial aid, has attended each and every class registered for, at least once, to be eligible for federal funds. If a student is found to be a No Show (one who has not attended class), we are required to take away the portion of financial aid he/she did not earn, in order to stay in compliance with the federal regs. Knowing this, we must establish disbursement dates that help us make 100% sure that we pay students the correct amount of financial aid.
Once the funds are disbursed, the Business Office, by law, has 14 days to get a check, if you are receiving one, to you.
