All university-administered funding provided to students to assist with educational expenses, experiences, travel, or prizes/awards must be considered part of the student's financial aid package. To learn more, please visit the Policy for Student Travel, Awards, Prizes, and Other Financial Assistance.
 
In collaboration with Student Business Services, Scholarships & Financial Aid has established a process that will allow funds to be posted to student accounts, even if students are not enrolled for the term. This process accommodates programs such as summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) students. 
 
Funds paid to students during a period of non-enrollment will be monitored by Scholarships & Financial Aid, and without exception, will be counted as financial aid for the next term of enrollment (typically fall). The total funds paid will appear as Univ Paid- No Enrollment in the student’s Financial Aid Portal.
 

These payment requests are for non-enrolled students (or enrolled in only 499 course). Do not use this process to provide payments to students who are or will be enrolled during the term.
