What are some advantages of granting permission to have aid applied to all current year charges on my university bill?

Sometimes students receive refunds even when there is still a balance due on the university account. This can be confusing and frustrating for students. Granting authorization to have aid applied to pay non-institutional charges allows the refund to be directly applied to remaining charges in the same financial aid award year. However, charges from a prior financial aid award year may still remain outstanding.

What types of financial aid can be authorized to apply to other charges on my university bill?

Title IV aid including Federal Direct Subsidized ad Unsubsidized loans, Direct Graduate Plus loans, Perkins loans, Pell grants, SEOG, TEACH grants, and Direct Parent Plus loans authorized to be refunded to the student. Parent borrowers are not currently able to provide authorization for Direct Parent Plus loans not authorized to be refunded to the student. Title IV Federal Financial Aid cannot apply to interest and billing charges regardless of authorization status.

Why isn't my financial aid automatically applied to all charges already?

Federal rules allow Title IV Federal Financial Aid to only be applied to institutional charges (i.e. tuition, fees, room and board) and up to $200 of prior year institutional charges. Students may authorize the university to pay all non-institutional charges for the current year and up to $200 of prior year non-institutional charges on-line via Duckweb.
