Financial aid

Class year affects financial aid and loan repayment schedules, as well as billing and registration for the following semester. Students can lose their financial aid awards if their graduation date hasn’t been changed on the e-Campus system. It’s important that you tell us your plans because changes to a class year are done manually and are not automatically computer-generated.

If you will not be completing your graduation requirements in four years please turn in a change of graduation date form to 130 CBLS so we can change your class year.
