Financial Aid Grants
You do not have to formally accept grant awards. Provided you are enrolled at the end of the two-week add/drop period, your grants will be applied to your student account.

Financial Aid refunds are processed and sent out starting in October for the Fall Semester and starting in March for the Spring Semester. If you believe you are due a refund, you can check the status on your MyCommNet account under account balance by term. A negative final number here represents the refund you may expect. Please contact the Financial Aid office if you have any questions.
