Spring Eligibility

The Financial Aid Office corresponds with students exclusively through your ULM email account. You must respond to our notifications and requests for action so that we can continue to process your aid. You can review your application status and complete all financial aid requirements from the ARROW site.

Spring financial aid is available to students who meet all federal eligibility requirements and complete a 2009/10 FAFSA.

If you register for classes and apply for financial aid, and then decide NOT to attend ULM, you must notify the Registrar in writing that you want your course reservations cancelled OR go online to ARROW and complete the drop procedure. Failure to notify Registrar or drop online will make you responsible for the tuition bill.

Note: Financial Aid is not awarded for the Winter Session

OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS:

If your financial aid award (s) does not show on your fee statement OR it does not cover the total balance due on your fee statement, you are responsible for payment of those fees by the fee payment deadline.

If you stop attending your classes and do not officially resign from the University, your professors will be contacted to verify your last date of class attendance. Any student who is withdrawn from the University will have their tuition and aid recalculated according to the Federal policy. The student will be financially responsible to pay back any aid that remains unearned. To review this policy click here: http://finaid.ulm.edu/withdrawal.html

STUDENT REFUNDS

Student refunds are disbursed either by ACH (direct deposit) or a paper check. Delays in receipt of refunds may be experienced if a student does not have current direct deposit information on file. Paper checks must be mailed on or shortly after the disbursement date to the permanent address on file.

To enroll in direct deposit, you must provide Student Account Services with a signed form disclosing your banking information. This form is available at www.ulm.edu/controller/forms.

Please Note: If you choose to have your Campus Work-Study paycheck direct deposited, you must submit the same form to payroll.
