Did you know that Financial Aid automatically pays for tuition and fees, but if you want to use your financial aid to pay for other charges like health insurance or bookstore charges, you will need to fill out the Financial Aid Authorization and give permission for that to happen?

Here's how to set it up!!

It’s September!! Let’s answer the biggest question you have for Fall semester!

WHEN WILL I GET MY MONEY??

“It depends” on what aid you will be receiving and if you have fulfilled all requirements to receive it!

What can you do now to be prepared?

1. Check for “needed” documents and complete anything asap - it can take a few weeks for documents to be processed at the beginning of the semester so waiting can slow things down!

2. Check your SAP status - Satisfactory, Warning, or Probation can still receive aid!

If you are suspended check your portal for a SAP appeal and read more about appealing on our website.

*If you are attending Summer session your aid will not release until grades are checked - September 22nd.

3. Make sure you have aid offers - if taking loans fill out a Master Promissory Note and complete Entrance Counseling

If all is in order - swipe to see when to expect aid in your student account where it will be applied to Tuition first!

Remaining funds can be erefunded to your bank account to to be used for other educational expenses!

If you have any financial aid questions come see us in Kimball 196, email [email protected] or live chat with us using the bubble on any byui webpage.
