*Tuition and fees for all courses (Term, 1, Term 2, and Full Term) are deducted from your total anticipated aid at the beginning of the semester. This could mean that your refund will be available on the financial aid distribution day after you have started your Term 2 classes. Once your attendance is verified for each term, refund checks are calculated and disbursed in accordance with the disbursement dates above. Additional funds may be available if the late start course(s) increase your aid eligibility. Please review pages 12-13 of the Be Great in 8 booklet for common financial aid scenarios.
