Prior to receiving the financial aid some aid programs require that additional things be done.
- Loans will require completion of a promissory note and entrance interview.
- Students awarded work-study must secure a job and complete employment papers.
- To receive a work-study paycheck a student must, of course, work.
- Some scholarships require that students have their enrollment verified by the Registrar's Office.
- The student must register for and begin attending classes.
At Buffalo State, once the drop/add period is over (week one) aid begins to be disbursed. Aid is used to pay the school charges first. Once all charges are paid any excess aid is refunded to the student to assist with living expenses.
Students who will have excess aid may also request a book deferment which will allow them a line of credit in the school bookstore.
