Total Charges – Financial Aid = Balance Due

These sample calculations represent only one semester of the aid year. You must meet ALL eligibility requirements for federal financial aid as described in your Terms and Conditions of financial aid before the aid is actually disbursed to your account.

**Please note that your financial aid award amount may NOT cover your full bill; therefore, you will need to ensure that you have compared your financial aid award to your student bill to determine if you will have any out-of-pocket costs.
