Financial Aid Information for Spring

Payment for spring classes is due the first day of class. This includes your financial aid disbursement. Our first aid disbursement to accounts is scheduled for January 2nd. Please take note of the following:

3 reasons your financial aid disbursement could be delayed:

 

·  ALL STUDENTS: Your enrollment confirmation must be completed (see "University Forms" in MyGFU student center)

·  You must be fully registered. Wait listed courses do not count toward aid eligibility. Traditional undergraduate students receiving George Fox aid funds must be registered for 12 credits. For disbursement, Grad and ADP students must be registered at least 1/2 time and must have a class that begins within 10 days of disbursement.

·  You may have financial aid documents to complete (see "University Forms" in MyGFU student center)
