Attention: Chapters 30, 35, and 1606 do not guarantee automatic registration completion. These funds are paid directly to the student and not the university. \u00a0 You must make payment arrangements with the Business Office or have enough Financial Aid or Student loans to cover the cost of attendance since the benefit pays a monthly stipend directly to the student and not the institution. The Business Office will not defer payment for Chapters 30, 35, and 1606 recipients. Financial services need to know how you intend to complete your registration to prevent being purged for non-payment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
