Calculating the Amount to Pay or Finance
To calculate the amount a family needs to finance, start with the charges above, subtracting deposits paid and the award amounts listed on the Financial Aid Award Letter, if the award has been made. Do NOT subtract Federal Work-Study funds, as they are not applied to the student account. Financing can be any combination of single payments, payments through a payment plan, or additional parent or student loans, above and beyond the Award Letter. Click here for further loan information. Many families budget to use a payment plan for some or all of the required amount in order to minimize the amount of borrowing.

Withdrawals and Refunds
Withdrawing from the University once classes have commenced incurs a financial penalty. Please review the University's refund schedule that applies to your courses. Full-time, undergraduate students are normally enrolled in 15 week courses.
