Fall Disbursement Reminders:

You must be registered for at least 6 hours for fall.

Make sure you have checked for missing documents.

Some state grants and scholarships (i.e., FL Student Assistance Grant, Benacquisto Scholarship, First Generation Scholarship, some athletic aid, etc.) do not disburse until after the add/drop period (Semptember 3rd).

Ensure you have set up direct deposit.
