Important News about Summer Financial Aid and Financial Aid Progress

Summer financial aid (federal Stafford loans included) will not be processed until Spring 2011 grades can be reviewed to determine if you are making satisfactory financial progress. You will need to make the necessary payment arrangements with the Bursar's Office when you register to hold your summer schedule. If you are not making financial aid progress, you will not be eligible for summer financial aid and you will have to pay for summer classes on your own. A variety of private alternative loans are available to help cover educational costs.
