Student Responsibilities

It is your responsibility to…

  • Review all information about a school’s program before you enroll.

  • Pay special attention to your application for financial aid. Complete it as completely and totally as possible. Submit it on time and to the right place. Errors can delay or even prevent you from receiving financial aid.

  • Know and comply with all deadlines for applying or reapplying for aid.

  • Provide all additional documentation, verification, corrections and/or new information requested by the Office of Financial Aid or the agency to which you submitted your application.

  • Read, understand and keep copies of all forms that you are required to sign.

  • Repay any student loans that you have. When you sign a promissory note, you have made a contractual agreement to repay your loan.

  • Participate in the entrance and exit counseling processes at your school if you have any Federal student loans.

  • Notify your school of a change in your name, address or attendance status. If you have a loan, you must also notify all current and prior lenders of these changes.

  • Satisfactorily perform the work agreed upon in a Work-Study job.

  • Understand important school policies that effect you: refund policy, satisfactory academic progress policy and changes to financial aid if you drop classes or withdraw (officially or unofficially).
