Please plan to pay your own initial educational expenses (tuition, fees, books, supplies) by the due date if your financial aid will not be ready in time.

Summer refund and repayment policy:
Financial aid will be refunded to the aid programs if you withdraw from all of your classes during the college’s refund period. In addition, if you withdraw Summer Quarter, you may owe a repayment of aid you received (except direct loans that are payable according to the terms of the promissory note). If you withdraw during the federal refund period, (i.e., the first 60% of your enrollment period, the amount of aid that must be returned to the aid programs is based on the proportion of the quarter remaining (that was not completed). For example, if you withdraw with 80% of the quarter remaining, 80% of your aid funds must be returned to the aid programs. The amount that you must repay depends on the amount of college tuition and fees and the type and amount of aid your received for summer. Please see  Census Date, Refunds and Repayments.
