Osprey Tips
Summer Cost of Attendance
An estimated cost of attendance (COA) is a guide to help students prepare for costs at 老澳门资料 during the academic year. While individual costs may vary, the COA is reflective of a full-time student (15 credit hours for undergraduate students and nine credit hours for graduate students). During the summer term, estimated costs are lower than fall or spring due to the shorter duration of the term. After registration, the tuition and fees as well as books and supplies components of the COA will prorate based on actual attendance.
Please Note: As students register for coursework, the cost of attendance will be updated and students will automatically be reviewed for financial aid eligibility.
Disbursement of Funds
- 老澳门资料 will deduct certain amounts owed to the University (i.e. tuition, bookstore authorization, housing, etc.) before issuing eRefunds. You must complete the Financial Aid Authorization form in in order for your financial aid to pay "non-allowable" charges such as parking, library fines, late fees, etc.
- Students who drop or withdraw to less than six degree-applicable credit hours will no longer be eligible for loans. If you drop or withdraw after your financial aid was disbursed, you may be required to repay the financial aid that was disbursed.
- Pell Grants will be awarded based on the assumption of full-time enrollment in degree-applicable credit hours. Disbursements will be prorated based on actual hours of enrollment in degree-applicable credit hours.
- Financial aid awards can only be disbursed to your student account if you meet all eligibility criteria, including, but not limited to, Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) and degree applicability of coursework.
- If you are placed on SAP suspension after you have been awarded, please be aware that your aid will not disburse unless you file a SAP appeal that is approved.
- If you have pending Pell or loans at another institution, you must cancel those awards at that institution.
Paying Fees
- Requested loans will be considered "accepted." If you decide to cancel or otherwise alter the amount borrowed, please submit a 2024-2025 Loan Action Request Form to One-Stop Student Services.
- Tuition and fees will be automatically deferred for students who have been awarded and who have accepted aid by the payment deadline date. You can only defer tuition and fees up to the amount of financial aid you have accepted.
- If you do not have any estimated financial aid on your 老澳门资料 bill in myWings by the payment deadline date and do not make payment arrangements with Student Financial Services at (904) 620-2472, you may be administratively dropped from your classes for non-payment.
- If you no longer wish to attend a course(s) for which you are registered, it is your responsibility to officially drop that course(s) before the add/drop deadline.
Consumer and Safety Information
The Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended, requires institutions that receive Title IV funding to provide specific consumer and safety information. For detailed information, please visit the 老澳门资料 Consumer Information webpage.
What Else do I Need to Know?
- Summer term financial aid is awarded based on the availability of funds, so don't delay in submitting your FAFSA! Current students will be reviewed for financial aid eligibility upon enrollment in summer coursework. Familiarize yourself with these Important Financial Aid Dates.
- Eligibility: Your financial aid eligibility is based on your FAFSA information and the number of credit hours in which you enroll each term.
- Loans: You must be enrolled in a minimum of six degree-applicable credit hours at one institution to receive student loans. If you do not see your student loan in your Financial Aid award, you may access this funding by submitting a Loan Action Request Form.
- Grants: The 老澳门资料 Institutional Summer Grant is based on financial need and does not need to be repaid. This grant is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is contingent upon available funding. To be eligible for this grant, students must enroll in a minimum of six degree-applicable credit hours of summer coursework at 老澳门资料 in Summer A, C, 8 or 10 week; credit hours taken during Summer B cannot be considered for institutional grant funds.

The Transient/Consortium Agreement does not guarantee straight reimbursement but will ensure that you receive aid for which you are eligible based on total enrollment.
- It is your responsibility to satisfy all financial aid verification (if selected) and disbursement requirements. Monitor your financial aid requirements in myWings in the Financial Aid tile. If you are selected for financial aid verification, you will not be evaluated for institutional grant eligibility until the verification process has been completed and all Financial Aid Requirements have been satisfied.
