Will I receive more financial aid if I live off-campus?


Why does my friend have more financial aid than I do?

In awarding financial aid, we consider several factors:

  • When was your financial aid file completed?
  • How much financial need do you have?
  • What is your cumulative grade point average? If all things were equal, awards would be similar. Typically is not the case; therefore, awards vary for each student.

Are my financial aid records confidential?

Absolutely! Information provided to the Office of Financial Assistance remains confidential.

How do I receive a Work-Study assignment?

Work-Study is awarded as part of the financial aid award; however, it is not automatically assigned.

What happens if I drop below full-time status?


If you drop after the tuition credit period, your aid will not be changed. However, to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress, students must complete 67% of the hours attempted. Please review the information under the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) section of our web page.
