Books are included in the Cost of Attendance which is used to determine your Financial Need. What you receive in financial aid will first be applied to your tuition, fees and room/board if applicable. If there are funds left over, they can be used for your books. Your need for Financial Aid is based on an estimated calculation of your family's ability to pay the expected total college cost. The total family contribution is calculated from the information you provide on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Your financial need is determined by deducting this contribution from your expected total college cost. You will use the income and assets of the parent with whom the student lived for the greater part of the twelve months preceding the date of the financial aid. Students with defaulted student loans cannot receive Federal Financial Aid. If you have a defaulted loan, you must contact your lender to make arrangements to rehabilitate your loan. Usually, you will be required to make 6 months worth of on-time payments. Financial Aid Office
