Limited financial aid is available to students matriculated and attending six or more credit hours in the summer. Financial aid received for Summer session attendance may reduce available assistance during the academic year. Apply for aid as early as possible by filing the 2009-10 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Binghamton’s federal school code is 002836 and must be listed on the FAFSA.

Below is the refund schedule for five-week Term I and II courses only. Contact the Student Accounts Office for the schedule for courses not conforming to the standard Term I or II dates. The length of a course affects the refund schedule.

Financial Aid Recipients and Refunds Due to Withdrawal from the University

Federal Title IV financial aid (Direct Loan, Pell Grant, Parent Loan) recipients who withdraw from or drop all classes in the Summer Session will have funds returned to loan and/or grant programs based upon federal return of Title IV financial aid regulations. Recipients of New York State TAP grants will lose eligibility for the TAP grant for summer. Eligibility for any other type of financial aid is based upon review. Any liability resulting from return of financial aid funds is the responsibility of the student.

A loan recipient who drops below the minimum number of credits required to receive financial aid but remains enrolled in the Summer Session may be subject to the resulting refund being returned as a repayment on the loan.
