How does my financial aid apply to my account?

Once your financial aid funds have been received and show as “paid” in your Financial Aid Portal, they will automatically be applied to charges on your student account, such as tuition, fees, and on-campus housing (specifically Center Square and University Village), usually within 24 hours.

If you want your federal financial aid to also pay for books and other eligible charges on your student account, you will need to complete the Federal Financial Aid Authorization Form.

After your charges are paid, any remaining funds will be refunded to your personal bank account through eRefund.
