Federal Aid Authorization
By completing your Federal Aid Authorization, you decide how your federal funds pay your charges. Federal law allows the University to use your federal aid funds to automatically pay for tuition, class fees, and room and board on campus. As a student you may incur additional fees, for example: bookstore, healthcare, health center charges, parking, etc. By selecting yes on the Federal Aid (Title IV) Authorization, you allow the University to automatically pay these additional charges for you. If you choose to not allow the University to pay these fees automatically, simply select No when completing your Federal Aid (Title IV) Authorization.
