Changes, Corrections or Special Circumstances

If you have to make corrections or changes to the information, you originally submitted on your FAFSA, this may result in a revision to your financial aid award. If you have unusual circumstances (i.e. loss of job, death of parent, etc.) that you did not report on the FAFSA, or if your family's situation has changed since you completed your application, contact Campus411 All-in-1 in Main Classroom, Room 116, or call 216.687.5411 or email allin1@csuohio.edu.  You may also use the FA Forms for Special Circumstances petition.

Complete Withdrawal

Before you completely withdraw from all of your classes, you need to think about the following items listed below to determine how withdrawing will effect your academic record, financial aid, and student account. Please feel free to print this screen, and use it as a checklist once you have decided to withdraw completely from your courses.

If you have questions about any of the items listed below, please visit a Student Service Specialist in Campus411 All-in-1 for guidance and information.

Payment of Your Tuition Charges and Disbursement of Student Aid

Your initial award is based on full-time enrollment or your actual credit hour enrollment at CSU. Enrollment for financial aid purposes will be confirmed each semester after the last day to drop classes. Changes in your enrollment status could affect your aid. Student financial aid is applied to your account to cover direct educational expenses. If the amount of financial aid you receive exceeds your tuition, fees and other direct educational expenses, the Office of Treasury Services will issue a refund for the credit balance to you. If you have a balance due after your aid has been applied to your account, you may wish to use one of the available payment options.

Financial aid can be used to cover tuition, required fees and residence hall charges. If you decline to authorize financial aid to cover miscellaneous charges to your account (e.g., parking, library fines, late fees), you are responsible for paying such charges independent of any financial aid received.
