Students who do not choose to use direct deposit will have a refund check sent to them within 14 days. Students who have aid in excess of their college bill may also be eligible for a bookstore deferment. A bookstore deferment is a line of credit that allows students to buy their books prior to aid being disbursed. When the financial aid is disbursed, it is then used to repay the bookstore. Students can request book deferments in either the Financial Aid Office or the Student Accounts Office prior to the end of the drop/add period each semester. The Financial Aid Office also administers a short-term loan program for students needing small amounts of money prior to the disbursement of their aid. To qualify, students must have aid awarded to them in excess of their institutional charges.
