Federal student financial aid can only cover “institutional charges” as defined by the U.S. Department of Education. This definition includes current year charges for tuition and fees, and on-campus room and board. It also includes other fees, such as: lab fees, workshops, university registration fees, facilities usage fees, and other specialized departmental or college fees associated directly with taking a class. Unless authorization is received, federal financial aid cannot be used to cover non-institutional charges such as: parking fines, library fines, breakage fees, returned check fees, late fees, application fees for short-term installment plans or any charges not directly tied to taking a class.
The only way federal student aid funds can be used to pay for “non-institutional charges” is to obtain your written authorization to pay those charges. The Title IV Authorization form allows Cashier & Student Accounts employees to apply your federal financial aid to your non-institutional charges.
