Disbursement of books and supplies policy for
Pell eligible students
All Pell eligible undergraduates 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 Bookstore. For more
information, visit the Tivoli Station webpage for the
CU
Denver Charge Program.
Check your UCDAccess
portal. If you were awarded a Federal
Pell Grant award at least 10 days prior to the start of the term and have not
yet received the projected excess aid funds by the first day of the term,
please contact the Financial
Aid & Scholarships Office for assistance.
- Entrance
Loan Counseling for Student Borrowers
Before receiving your first
Federal Direct Loan, the U.S. Department of Education requires that you
complete the online Loan Entrance Counseling and Master Promissory Note (MPN).
The Loan Entrance Counseling will provide important information about student
loans so that you will become a well-informed borrower.
The counseling covers your
rights and responsibilities, interest rates, repayment options and the
consequences of default or not repaying your loan. The MPN is your promise to
repay this loan and contains the terms and conditions of the loan, as well as
repayment information.
- Exit Loan Counseling for Student Borrowers
Exit counseling provides important information you need to prepare to repay your federal student loan(s). If you have received a subsidized, unsubsidized or PLUS loan under the Direct Loan Program or the FFEL Program, you must complete exit counseling each time you drop below half-time enrollment, graduate or otherwise leave school.

will be accessible by guaranty agencies, lenders and institutions determined

Federal Student Financial Aid Penalties for Drug Law Violations
The Higher Education Act of 1965
(HEA), as amended, suspends aid eligibility for students who have been convicted
under federal or state law of the sale or possession of drugs, if the offense
occurred during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving
federal student aid, including grants, loans and/or work study. If you have a
conviction(s) for these offenses, call the Federal Student Aid Information
Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243).
If you have lost federal student
aid eligibility due to a drug conviction, you can regain eligibility if you
pass two unannounced drug tests conducted by a drug rehabilitation program that
complies with criteria established by the U.S. Department of Education.
