Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships

Summer 2026 quarter begins Monday, June 22nd! 

Aid disbursement to student accounts start Thursday, June 18th*. 

(*For programs that have a delayed start date, disbursement will occur approximately 2 business days before instruction begins.)

A summer aid offer will be prepared for you, if we received your financial aid application and you are enrolled for summer 2026 courses. Any aid offered for summer will be based on full-time enrollment (at least 12 credits for undergraduates and at least 10 credits for graduate students) and full-term (or the combination of A-term, B-term, and full-term) enrollment. If you will not be attending summer quarter full-time, please contact our office to discuss your eligibility for the amount of credits you plan to enroll in. The amount of credits you are enrolled in when your aid disburses, are the amount of credits you are expected to complete for the quarter. 

Want to know if your financial aid was disbursed? Check your Tuition Statement. It will tell you what aid has disbursed, what has applied to your tuition statement balance, and what excess amount (if any) will be sent to you via direct deposit or check.

If your aid has not disbursed, check your Financial Aid Status page. Missing documents, incorrectly submitted FAFSA’s, not meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements, and other notices that may be affecting your disbursement, may be listed.
