Financial Aid for J-Term

Financial Aid

J-Term 2011 Application Procedures

As a result of new regulations regarding stand alone intersession terms, the J-Term semester will now be linked to the preceding Fall semester. Consequently, once you complete the in-house J-Term Financial Aid Application, your Fall 2010 Cost of Attendance will be adjusted to reflect the additional actual costs (direct and indirect) that you will incur during the J-Term aid period. 

All students will be responsible for taking any refund check that will be issued to them during the Fall semester (based on their enrollment in J-Term) to the Office of Student Accounts to pay for their J-Term actual tuition and fees on their own.               

Students Studying Abroad will receive their refund for their J-Term trip during the Fall semester as well and will be responsible for paying any program fees through the International Education Office unless prior arrangements have been made with the Office of Student Accounts. 

ALL STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM FEES MUST BE PAID WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE RECEIPT OF A REFUND, OTHERWISE A HOLD WILL BE PLACED ON YOUR FALL ACCOUNT. 

If you end up not enrolling in a J-Term class or not studying abroad during J-Term after completing and submitting this application, please contact our office immediately.
