HSU Summer Session Financial FAQ
What aid is available for summer?
Summer Pell Grants may be available. Otherwise, only any unused academic year eligibility (from fall and spring terms) for Pell Grant or Direct Loans may be utilized. Some students seek out private loans for summer school.
When will my summer aid be processed?
The Financial Aid Office cannot begin processing summer aid until spring grades are finalized and we have run our end-of-term processes for Satisfactory Academic Progress. We anticipate beginning processing in early June.
When will my financial aid disburse?
We anticipate processing financial aid awards in early June. Disbursements will follow soon after that. You are responsible for any fees that financial aid does not cover.
Will loans be disbursed with grants?
That depends. Grants will disburse once attendance begins, regardless of the number of units a student is enrolled in. Loans disburse once attendance in 6 units begins. Example: You have been approved for a grant and a loan. You are enrolled in a 3-unit course for the first half of the summer term and a 3-unit course for the second half of the summer term. The grant will be disbursed once attendance begins in the 3-unit course in the first half of the term. The loan will be disbursed once attendance begins in the second 3-unit course in the second half of the term.
Can I use my fall aid to pay for summer?
No. Students must have a clear account balance before any fall aid is awarded. Financial aid disbursements for fall will be held back if you have a balance due for summer. Your fall classes will be cancelled if no payment is received by the fall term payment due date.
Will I be cancelled if I don't pay?
That depends. Student Financial Services runs a cancellation process at the beginning of each session of the summer term (1st half and 2nd half) to drop students for non-payment; however, students will NOT be dropped during this cancellation process if the student has a fee deferment approved and on file (see question below). Students who enroll in classes after the cancellation process is complete will NOT be dropped for non-payment. It is the student's responsibility to drop courses. Students who remain enrolled in courses, whether attended or not, will be responsible for tuition and fees.
Can I defer my summer payment?
Fee deferments will be obtained and completed at the Financial Aid Office in the Student Business Services building. A student must have at least 6 units to have fees deferred. If the fee deferment is approved, students will have their fee due date moved to a later date in the summer term. Fees must be paid by the new due date to avoid a financial hold placed on the student record. A financial hold will negatively impact financial aid distribution for the upcoming fall semester.
Is there a payment plan?
We allow payment plans with Student Financial Services. Students will need to be enrolled in units to initiate an installment plan. Students may request a payment plan from their Student Center. In order to submit a payment plan form, students will need to be ready to make the first installment of fees. Fees will be divided in 3 payments, 50% of fees due in the first payment, then 25% for the second payment, and the final 25% with the last payment. More information is available with Student Financial Services.
