What are my responsibilities as a student receiving financial aid?

It is your responsibility to:

  • Review and consider all information about a school's program before you enroll.
  • Pay special attention to your application for student financial aid, complete it accurately, and submit it on time to the right place. Errors can delay or prevent your receiving aid.
  • Know and comply with all deadlines for applying or reapplying for aid.
  • Notify your school of any information that has changed since you applied.
  • Read, understand, and keep copies of all forms you are asked to sign.
  • Repay any student loans you have. When you sign a promissory note, you are agreeing to repay your loan.
  • Attend an exit interview at your school, if you have Stafford Student Loan or PLUS/SLS Loan.
  • Notify your school of any change in your name, address, or attendance status (half-time, three-quarter time, or full-time). If you have a loan, you must also notify your lender of these changes.
  • Satisfactorily perform the work agreed upon in a Work-study job.
  • Understand you school's refund policy.
