Financial Aid Questions

I was awarded Financial Aid, why do I have a late fee?
Your award acceptance may not have been submitted on time or your award may have been posted to your account after bills were due.  Please contact the Bursar's Office at (203) 392-6140 for more information about your late fee.

My Financial Aid was awarded and I submitted my acceptance online, when will it show up on my bill?
Check with the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships.

My Financial Aid award came in, is my AMS plan automatically cancelled?
No. You must make arrangements through AMS to cancel your monthly payment plan.

When will Financial Aid loan check refunds be processed?
The Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships (OFAS) is required by federal law to verify that you are eligible for the loan by being registered as a matriculated student with the proper number of credits. This is a two-week process that the OFAS can not begin until after Add/Drop period ends, which is September 9, 2008.  Therefore, Financial Aid refunds should start being processed on September 23, 2008.
