Do Not Procrastinate!

At most times of the year, the Student Financial Services office requires up to 10 business days (two weeks) to review your documentation and make the final determination about your financial aid. However, during peak times of year (August and January), this process can take four to six weeks.

Set up Payment: Financial Aid recipients are required to set up a payment plan. Otherwise, you risk being dis-enrolled or accessed late fees. Reminder emails and instructions will be sent from the 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 Controller’s Office “Fees Due Soon”.

Late Applicants: Important
If you applied late, you will need to sign up for a Payment Plan at the My澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 Student Self Service Center to help avoid late fees and prevent dis-enrollment.

Very late applicants for financial aid may incur some late charges before processing is complete.

If this is the case, you will incur a personal financial obligation by enrolling in college.
