Payments for Law Student Aid

The Office of Student Financial Aid applies aid to each student's account. The Office of Student Accounts disburses any remaining funds to the student in the form of a check or funds are directly deposited into the student's account unless there is an administrative hold on the record. Funds exceeding your institutional cost (tuition, fees, housing, etc.) will be mailed or directly deposited into your bank account during the second week of classes, after drop/add registration.

Please follow the Tuition and Fees link under related links on this page regarding disbursement schedules listed for each semester.

All Federal Direct Loan recipients are required to attend entrance counseling before receiving their first disbursement at Georgia State. Loan funds will not be released or credited to your account until entrance counseling is completed. Receive loan counseling online at http://www.ed.gov/DirectLoan.

Federal Direct Loan and other outside loan checks are disbursed based on the following eligibility requirements:

• You must have registered as at least a half time student in eligible course work for the semester the loan is intended.
• You are maintaining Satisfactory Progress as defined by the policy administered by the Office of Financial Aid.
• Promissory notes are returned.
• You have attended entrance counseling if you are a first time borrower at Georgia State.

If you accept loan funds that are released to you based upon hours for which you have registered and you do not attend those classed for any reason, you will be required to return the full amount of the loan disbursed immediately, and you will lose your eligibility for additional financial aid until all funds you received for which you were not eligible have been repaid.

Georgia State offers a number of alternative enrollment options (cross registration, Study Abroad, transient study, etc.) that necessitate special action by you in order to receive your financial aid. Be sure to contact a counselor in the Office of Financial Aid at least one term before you plan to attend under any alternative enrollment program.

If FWS is included in your award offer, you may apply for a vacant position with prospective hiring departments on the Georgia State campus. If you accept your award, procedures will be mailed to you.

A limited number of FWS positions are designated as community service. These positions provide services available to members of the local community. All community service positions will be identified in the job listing.

If you are unsure of the procedure to follow, or if you encounter any difficulty in obtaining a position, contact the Student Employment Coordinator in the Office of Student Financial Aid.

• The amount of your award is the maximum amount you are eligible to earn.
• More information will be mailed to you if you accept the FWS award offered.
