November	Spring 2015 Registration Begins Check your student account to make sure all fall aid has disbursed and that you do not have an outstanding bill. Holds are listed on your To Do list.

Even if you received a refund for fall 2014, you may still have a bill from a prior semester as federal regulations restrict using the federal portion of a refund to pay for enrollment in a prior year. Financial aid is "earned" by successfully completing classes, failure to do so can result in a reduction or cancellation of aid and a resulting unpaid bill. Unpaid bills will block future enrollment.
