Summer 2025 Financial Aid
2024-2025 Financial Aid Awards
The Office of Financial Aid will begin sending financial aid offers for the 2024-2025 academic year beginning late February for new students and mid-March for continuing students. Summer Session 2025 financial aid will be automatically offered to eligible students who are enrolled in summer classes and have completed a 2024-2025 FAFSA beginning mid-April.
For some types of aid a minimum of six credits is required. After students have registered for summer courses, they will be notified of summer financial aid offers via email and can review their financial aid status using RAMweb at that time.
Eligibility
Before you may receive any financial aid you have been awarded, you must maintain certain eligibility criteria.
Special Circumstances
Students who are experiencing special circumstances are encouraged to contact a counselor in The Hub to discuss additional options.
Summer Flexible Payment Plan
Payment plans spread tuition throughout the semester, making it easier to plan finances ahead of time.
The flexible payment plan opens April 15, 2025. The enrollment deadline is May 27, 2025. Individuals who are enrolled in the summer payment plan by the deadline can disregard the June 10 billing due date. Withdrawals will be taken from their designated account in June and July instead of paying by the term billing due date. For more information about the payment plan, refer to the payment plan information page.

- Summer-Only/Visiting students can also stay in Parmelee.
- Leases often begin in August, so a stay in Parmelee may help bridge a gap in summer housing.
- It is also possible to stay in a residence hall between the end of summer term and move-in day for the fall term.
