What does the term 鈥淓stimated Cost of Attendance鈥� mean?

The Estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) is the average cost for the average student to attend school and support themselves for the given enrollment period. The COA will give you an idea of how much a student can expect to spend for a specific period. All COAs include tuition, which is set, as well as living expenses, which can vary based on a student鈥檚 lifestyle choices. Living expenses included are room (rent), board (food), transportation, books, fees, miscellaneous expenses, as well as all necessary insurances. The COA is also the maximum amount of aid a student can receive for the identified enrollment period.

My Sallie Mae Loan is approved. What happens now?

Once your loan is fully approved, the financial aid office will certify it to be disbursed. Loans are disbursed to the school on a semester-by-semester basis. Disbursements are generally scheduled 10 days before the start of the term, whenever possible. However, Sallie Mae's policies may affect disbursement dates. 

Disbursements are received by the Office of the Bursar and applied to your student billing account as a payment. If you have borrowed more than your balance due, the payment will generate a negative balance and you are due 鈥渃hange鈥�. This change will be delivered to you at or after registration in the form of a refund check. Please note that it can take up to two weeks from the disbursement date for refund checks to be processed, mailed, and delivered to you. If you have a question regarding your refund check, you will need to contact the Office of the Bursar.
