An overpayment occurs when Title IV aid has been disbursed beyond the student's eligibility and cannot be resolved by adjusting future disbursements of federal aid for that award year. There are different types of overpayments, some are the school's liability to repay and others are the student's liability to repay. The type depends on the reason for the overpayment, and who made the error.
For overpayments that are the student’s responsibility to resolve, the student will be notified via email from the Financial Aid office. The student must then contact the Bursar’s office to make payment arrangements.
