Applying for Financial Aid
If you have not yet applied for financial aid and wish to do so, stop by the Financial Aid Office to pick up the worksheets to help you prepare the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You must file your application online at www.fafsa.ed.gov and the worksheets will enable you to have your answers ready for data entry.
Financial Aid Check Disbursement
Financial Aid funds are disbursed by the Cashiers and Student Accounts Office at the beginning of each semester. Students should expect to provide their own money for the purchase of books and other supplies prior to the start of classes. Refund checks will be mailed to local mailing addresses or the Cashier ‘s Office will be notifying you of options for direct deposit of your refund into your checking account. Be sure to update your local mailing address on UNCGenie in order to receive your refund check by mail.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for Financial Aid Purposes
In order to be eligible to receive financial aid, all students must comply with the requirements of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. The policy outlines GPA requirements, minimum credit hour attainment, time limit restrictions, and information about withdrawal from school and reinstatement of aid.
Please note that students will be held to the number of credit hours that they are registered for as of the last day of the schedule adjustment period. Students who do not fulfill the policy requirements may appeal to the Financial Aid Office. Refer to the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy, especially if you have failed, dropped, taken incompletes, or failed to earn credit to the Satisfactory A hours in any class.
