tuition

[Baseball freak]

okay, so I understand I have to float tuition for the first semester, but what about subsequent semesters. Do loans come through early or what? I know tuition is due fifteen days before the beginning of each semester, but how are we supposed to pay it if loans don't come until the first day of class? Anyone know?

I believe only the first term loan comes late, after that to my understanding you recieve the loan money before tuition is due.

I am not 100% sure so correct me if i am wrong.

Once you are in school and your loans have been approved, the proceeds, once disbursed, will be sent directly to the school. You don't have to worry about the school getting their money :wink:. You will get the rest of your money sometime within about 2 weeks of the beginning of the semester, depending on the type of loan you have. I would really suggest you call Gardner and ask them about the in's and out's of the process, because you'll need to be sure of dates in order to pay your bills.

A couple of pluses are that, once you're here, most grocery stores will run a monthly credit for you. My landlord even allows me to pay the rent late at the beginning of the semester, but when I pay, I do it for the entire semester. Of course, I recommend that you only do what is comfortable for you in terms of dealings with your landlord, but I'm just trying to illustrate that people are usually pretty flexible.


Bottom line is that you don't have to find a way to float your tuition every semester.

Best of Luck!
