The Summer Aid Application is now available. Students who are only interested in Pell do not need to complete the application. All students who are registered for Summer and are eligible for Summer Pell will receive an award. Summer eligibility requirements can be found here.
The 24-25 Excelsior application will be open from 5/23/24 - 8/31/24.
Normally, book deferments are available online two weeks before the semester and run through the end of the drop/add period to register.
Only if a student is expecting a refund, can they request a book deferment. A book deferment will reduce the amount of a student's refund by the amount requested. If a student is not expecting a refund, they are not eligible to request a book deferment.
