- Disbursement of books and supplies policy for
Pell eligible students
All Pell eligible students who
have been awarded financial aid at least 10 days before the beginning of the term,
who have registered for courses, and whose awarded aid is in excess of charges
billed by the university for those courses, may use their excess funds to
purchase books and supplies.
Students should be aware that
enrolling at a lesser status than the enrollment status used to award the aid
may require that the award be adjusted to match the new enrollment status,
which will lower any excess aid amount. Students should also be aware that
changes in their enrollment status after the disbursement of funds may result
in lowered or no eligibility for financial aid funds and thus the student may
owe the university a return of some or all of the funds disbursed for books and
supplies.
All enrolled CU Denver students
may charge up to $500 for books and supplies at the Tivoli Station. For more
information, visit the Tivoli Station webpage for the
CU
Denver Charge Program.
Check your student UCDAccess

yet received the projected excess aid funds by the first day of the term,
please contact the Financial
Aid & Scholarships Office for assistance.
