Before we begin, it’s important to remember that the Office of Financial Aid awards aid, while the Bursary charges, collects, and refunds excess financial aid, tuition, fees, and other costs.

How to Pay for Your Classes

This is how Financial Aid assists with charges in the Bursary:

  • Once your awards are posted and accepted (i.e., loans) and all documentation is provided, aid will be authorized to be released at the appropriate time.
  • When you register for classes for an upcoming term, charges will be posted to view in the Student Online Account Center in My呦乐园 after the early registration period has ended.
  • Each term, aid authorization will occur once you register.
  • Payment deadlines for the Bursary are available each term at the Bursary website. If your balance (charges - financial aid = balance due) is not received by the due date, the Bursary will drop your registered classed. 
  • You will be responsible for any balance remaining after your aid is applied. For a full list of payment options, including short term loans, please visit the Bursary website.
  • The Drop/Add period for coursework is typically the first week of classes each term.

What Happens when Aid is greater than your Balance Due?

  • If a student has an excess balance (more financial aid than charges), the Bursary will begin processing refunds, typically within 3 weeks of the term’s starting date to allow for attendance verification and incoming aid to apply. After the initial add is disbursement on weekly basis,except for the first week of each month.
  • Excess funds can be disbursed (or given to the student) via direct deposit to a ban
