If Something Changes: All financial aid awards are subject to change if the information upon which they were based changes or federal regulations require a change. If the total of your award(s) becomes greater than your documented financial need or the established cost of attendance, your award(s) may need to be adjusted. You will be notified if such an adjustment is necessary.

While generally not an issue, all awards are subject to the availability of funding.

If Your Situation Changes: If at any point during the application process or school year you or your parents encounter circumstances that you believe affect your financial condition, you should contact our office and arrange to speak with a counselor. The counselor will evaluate your circumstances and offer appropriate advice. Additionally, if at any time during the year any of your financial information changes, you should notify us of the change.

Your Enrollment: If you fail to enroll, or maintain half-time enrollment status, for a semester or term for which you have been awarded financial aid, that aid, as well as any other aid remaining for the year will be canceled. This also applies to summer sessions.
