Did you:

• Sign and return your award letter?
• Sign the Master Promissory Note from the bank for your Federal Stafford Loan?
• Sign a promissory note for loans through the university?
• Submit all other forms requested by the Financial Aid office?
• Complete an Entrance Interview for the Federal Stafford loan?

As soon as all the necessary paperwork is completed for release of aid, the Financial Affairs Office will first credit funds to your university account for payment of tuition and any other university charges. This is done at the beginning of each quarter. If funds remain after university charges are paid, an overpayment check will be prepared by the Financial Affairs office. Since most overpayments are a result of Stafford Loan proceeds, an email is sent from Financial Affairs detailing the loan amount, outstanding balance, and the date when the overpayment check is available for pick-up from Financial Affairs. Financial Affairs issues checks once each week on Tuesdays after 1:00 PM for transactions completed prior to the previous Thursday. Questions about billing, charges and overpayments can be answered by calling 312-942-6584, or stopping by the Financial Affairs counter in Student Services Suite - Armour 440.
