 Tuition Due Dates

  • Tuition Due — 15 business days prior to start of semester
  • Financial Aid Disbursement — 12th business day of semester
  • Tuition payments must be received, in the Business Office by the tuition due date.

Financial Aid disbursement
A credit balance on a student account is created when the student withdraws from courses per the refund policy deadlines and is entitled to a refund for payments already made or has excess financial aid remaining after all eligible charges are paid in full.  Central Lakes College has partnered with BankMobile to deliver your financial aid refund and provide you with your official School ID card. For more information about BankMobile, visit this link: http://bankmobiledisbursements.com/refundchoicesid/.

Disbursement of any financial aid award in excess of total billing at the College will be disbursed every Monday and Thursday beginning the 3rd week of each term.

Financial aid disbursements may be used for educational expenses each semester.  However, if a student does not complete their courses, they may be required to pay back a portion of or the entire financial aid award.  Students should plan to have personal funds available to meet rent and deadlines for other bills before aid is available.

Note: All loans have at least two disbursements.  First time loan borrowers are required to wait 30 days for their first loan disbursement.
