Granting Aid Permissions

Students can use their Aid to pay Miscellaneous Charges and Bookstore Account Charges for the current semester or to allow their Alternative Loans to post to Summer/Winter Charges.  They MUST first allow Title IV funding to pay them.

Reasons to Grant Permissions

  1. Bookstore Account Charges - If you want to use our Bookstore Account Program using anticipated refund balances from aid for a bookstore account, you must first grant permission for the aid to pay these charges.
  2. Miscellaneous Charges - If you want your aid to pay for current term miscellaneous charges such as ID replacements or health center visit fees. This will NOT pay a prior semester or sessions charges - these you must pay on your own.
