Financial aid awards are calculated for the academic year. (A new academic year begins every fall semester.) Each academic year, students must reapply for financial aid. Awards are recalculated each year based on information provided on that year’s FAFSA. Additionally, students must continue to make satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible for financial aid.
If you are unable to adhere to the payment deadlines, contact the Bursar’s Office immediately to avoid being dropped and to make payment arrangements.
For those students who qualify, reimbursement funds are typically available four to six weeks after the start of classes. To request direct deposit, visit your myCommNet account. Under “Student Services” select “Registration and Payment,” and then click on “Direct Deposit Enrollment.” If you don’t request direct deposit, a check will be sent to your home. Make sure your address is up-to-date with the Registrar. All disbursements and refunds are handled by the Bursar’s Office; please contact them with further questions regarding your refund.
