Financial Aid Confidential Information Waiver

FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) is a federal law protecting the confidentiality of the student’s records.  In compliance with FERPA, the Office of Financial Aid must have the student’s written authorization to discuss information from their financial aid file to anyone other than a custodial parent(s) that is designated on the current academic year’s FAFSA.  Completing the waiver will allow whomever the student designates to communicate with the Office of Financial Aid.  This waiver will remain on file and in effect until graduation, withdrawal from the college or a written statement to change or eliminate designees.

Planning for Disbursement

Disbursement
Student aid for the summer, fall, and spring terms is disbursed after the add/drop period has ended for that term. Financial aid will only be credited to a student's account after all necessary requirements for the funds are completed and processed, and a student has accepted their aid for the applicable academic year on their My Financial Aid Portal. Students should budget and plan accordingly for immediate financial needs during this period. *Some disbursements may vary based on the start and end date of a student's courses.
