Tuition Deferral
For summer term, the Business Office will only defer your tuition/fees IF you have received a Summer Award Letter and you are going to be receiving aid at your registered credit level. If your summer aid includes loans, the loans must be certified by the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office (allow 3 business days from the time you complete LoanApps Online and request a summer loan). If you have a consortium agreement and are recieving your aid at another school or you have had your financial aid cancelled because of unsatisfactory academic progress, you will NOT be deferred. Students not meeting the above criteria MUST pay their full tuition/fees by the established payment deadline or their courses MAY BE DROPPED. However, do not rely on the college to drop your classes for you. If you decide not to attend, you must process a drop in the Records Office, on the web, or send a letter requesting to be dropped prior to the start of the term or you will be charged for those credits.
Types of Aid for Summer
Federal Pell Grant, Minnesota State Grant, MN Childcare Grants and loans are available this summer. If you did not use your full loan eligibility during fall and spring term, you may be eligible for loans.
Changing Your Schedule
Financial aid adjustments due to class schedule changes: If you decide to add a course after 5th day of the term, your Pell Grant CANNOT be adjusted for the increase in credits. If you drop a course and add another course that is the same number of credits after the 5th day of the term, your Pell Grant will be negatively affected, as your added course will not be recognized. If you drop any courses after the 5th day of the term, you will be required to repay part or all of your summer aid. YOUR CLASS SCHEDULE MUST BE FIRM AND YOU SHOULD NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES AFTER THE 5th OF THE TERM OR YOU RISK AID REDUCTIONS.
