What’s New at Student Financial Support?

Submit Missing Financial Aid Documents Before Spring Registration

Students are required to pay their balance in order to register for classes. Registration will open in November. Students that do not pay their balance will be placed on a financial hold that will block them from registering for the next semester’s classes.  

If you need financial aid to help with your balance, make sure to complete your financial aid application to ensure that you have the funds disbursed to your account in a timely fashion. Instructions and links for FAFSA, CSS Profile, and IDOC are available on our website. Please allow 5-7 business days for document updates.
