Financial Aid Disbursements

Before funds are applied to your account, you must meet the federal requirements (i.e. course start dates, academic activity, minimum registered hours, etc.).

Loan Funds

  • You will receive an email when loan funds have been applied to your Baker College account.
  • Students who requested a one-quarter only loan: Federal regulations require that loans for a single term be paid in two disbursements. To qualify for the second disbursement, students must be registered at least half time after the midpoint of the quarter.  The second disbursement is applied to your account after that date.

Return to top.

Excess Aid Refunds 

Students who receive financial aid or loans in excess of their charges are issued a refund. Refunds issued from excess financial aid funds are issued by check and are mailed to the student's address on record with Baker College. Please ensure that your address is up to date in order to receive your excess aid refund timely.
 

Course Withdrawals

While we hope you do not need to withdraw from any courses, we want you to be aware of the withdrawal and refund policies. Please review the St. Francis Class Withdrawal and Refund Policy knowledge base article for more details.
