Frequently Asked Questions

How does financial aid apply to my summer classes?

After Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress is determined (no earlier than the first week of summer session 1), financial aid will be applied directly to your account to offset/pay summer tuition.

When is the financial aid deadline for the 2025 summer session?

Please contact the Veteran and Military Resource Center (VMRC) for more information and any inquiries.
