The Student Business Office is the final step in the registration process.

All students must obtain Final Confirmation of Registration by agreeing to the University's Financial Responsibility Policy, enrolling in a payment agreement (if applicable, see below) and making the first payment as per the agreement. Students fully covered by financial aid must also obtain Final Confirmation of Registration to finalize their registration.

• For a student whose bill is completely covered by financial aid, the final step in the Student Business Office Process will be accepting the university's Financial Responsibility Policy by selecting the "I Agree" button in Student Finance Self-Service. Student Finance Self-Service can be accessed through the (requires login).
• For a student whose bill is NOT completely covered by financial aid, enrollment in a payment agreement will be required. In Student Finance Self-Service, agree to the Financial Responsbility Policy by selecting the "I Agree" button, then select "Make Payment/Confirm," enroll in a payment plan and make your payment online or in person.

If there are no discrepancies, a Final Confirmation of Registration e-mail will be sent to the student鈥檚 天美影院email address.

Once a student has agreed to the University鈥檚 Financial Responsibility Policy and received Final Confirmation of Registration, the student is considered registered. Any drops or withdrawals after this point must be officially requested by the student before posted deadlines. If a student does not follow procedures for drops or withdrawals by the posted deadline, they will be financially responsible for the classes for which they registered.

The university prefers that all refunds to students be delivered via electronic fund transfer (E-Refund). Students should enroll in E-Refund at least 10 days before the first scheduled disbursement.

• Financial aid refunds are processed weekly after the 100% drop period of the start of a term. Federal regulations require that excess be disbursed within 14 days from when funds are credited to the student's account (not when awarded).
• Students will be notified via email when an E-Refund has been disbursed. Students should allow at least 24 hours for the funds to be credited to their bank account.
• Students can set up E-Refund by following these steps:
  
  • Visit Student Finance Self-Service (accessed through the dashboard - requires login)
  • Select "Make Payment/Confirm"
  • Click "Continue to Payment Center"
  • Click "I Agree"
  • Select "Electronic Refunds" followed by "Set Up Account" and select "Account Type"
    • After completion of the two-step verification you will receive a message stating your information has been saved

Students who do not enroll in E-Refund

For students who do not enroll in E-Refund, the financial aid refund will be disbursed by check. The check will be mailed to the student's preferred mailing address as indicated in university records. If a mailed check is not received at the preferred address, there is a 10 business day waiting period before a replacement check can be issued.

Disbursements can be checked by visiting:

• Student Finance Self-Service (accessed through the dashboard - requires login)

Estimated financial aid is considered pending aid and is not subject to refund until finalized.

Students delinquent on or in default of payments and students with returned checks may be withdrawn from the University.

Balances must be paid in full before transcripts or diploma can be released.
