I have my Financial Aid Award Notice, what do I need to do next?

• Your Award Notice provides the name of the financial aid program and the amount that you qualified to receive. Review the information noted on the back of the Award Notice.
  
• The Federal Pell Grant amount is based upon full-time enrollment. If you enroll for less than 12 credit hours, your Pell Grant amount will be reduced accordingly.
  
• If you are awarded prior to the semester’s drop/add date and you have available funds once tuition and fees are paid, you may purchase books at the campus Bookstore using your remaining financial aid award balance. Check with your campus Bookstore to confirm if you have a credit balance on your account to purchase books.
  
• Once tuition, fees, and books are paid, the remaining balance will be issued to you within 7 days from the drop/add date.
  
• If your Award Notice is issued after the drop/add date, your refund will be issued to you 14 days from the date the college credits your account.
