If your financial aid award exceeds all charges for the term, you
will be issued a rebate check. You will be notified through your TU
e-mail address if you have been issued a rebate check. Rebate checks
cannot be disbursed any earlier than 10 days before the start of the term. Please check the Announcements section for the check disbursement dates.
Please note: if you drop classes from your schedule or withdraw from the university, you may have to repay some or all of your rebate money.
To determine the date your rebate check was ordered, go to Towson
Online Services and log on. Click Self Service>Student Center>Account Inquiry >Activity Tab. If a rebate check has been ordered, you will see it listed as Financial Aid Rebate under the Activity Tab and the order date will be in the left column.

Changes to Federal Financial Aid, effective the 2009-10 Academic Year
The U.S. Department of Education recently changed its regulations on the use of federal financial aid loans and grants. Under the new regulations, federal financial aid loans and grants awarded for an academic year may not be used to satisfy previous semester/ term tuition and fee charges exceeding $200. This applies to subsidized federal loans, unsubsidized federal loans, and Federal Pell Grants.
The regulations will prevent federal financial aid awarded for the 2009-10 year from financing tuition or fees for the 2009 trimester. Trimester charges must be paid with financial aid awarded for the trimester or with a personal payment made by the due date listed on the trimester billing statement.
• Students and visitors to the Enrollment Services Center may park in the University Union parking garage located across the street. There is designated handicap parking in the parking lot in front of the building.
