Important Dates

Early Book Purchase Program (EBPP)

Is your aid more than your tuition and fees? Use the leftover funds to purchase your textbooks at the college bookstore 10 days before your classes start. Note that once your financial aid has been paid, the EBPP is no longer available.

Disbursement

Aid applies to your balance the day before classes start depending on the class start date.

• Refer to our Disbursement and Refunds webpage.
• Accounts Receivable Services (ARS) will process remaining financial aid funds, if any, as a refund to the student. Contact ARS with any questions about refunds.

Pell Recalculation Date (PRD) 

To maximize your award, it is important to finalize your course schedule before the PRD, even if some of the classes you are considering start later.
