Anticipated Aid
Your student account may show your Financial Aid as “Anticipated Aid” prior to the disbursement of your funds. All grants, scholarships, and loans that were certified are considered as anticipated aid prior to disbursement. These funds will not be disbursed until you have turned in all required paperwork (if required) and enrolled in sufficient units. If you do not complete the requirements in a timely fashion, your aid may be canceled and you would have to pay any costs you may owe to the University at that time.
