Title IV Financial Aid

• Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans
• Federal Pell Grants
• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG)
• Direct PLUS Loans (Parent/Graduate)

Educational (Allowable) Charges

• Tuition
• Room and Board
• Mandatory fees

Non-Educational (Non-allowable) Charges

• Health insurance
• Parking fines

• Any other fees not mandated for courses

In order to apply Title IV funding to non-educational charges, you will need to grant permission to the University of 51С�Ƴ�. If Title IV Authorization is incomplete (or declined), funds cannot be applied to non-educational charges, and a refund will be issued, even if non-educational charges remain on the bill. This means you could simultaneously receive a refund and a bill. However, receiving a refund would not indicate your account is satisfied.

The Title IV Authorization decision needs to be made only once while you are a 51С�Ƴ�student. If you wish to change or rescind, you can do so by emailing a written request to Student Financial Services.

You will make a decision on how to apply excess federal loans and grants to your non-educational charges by completing the Title IV Authorization requirement found on Compass. You can follow the instructions below:
