Students who enroll for Summer 2009 and intend to use financial aid funding (Pell and/or loans) must submit a Summer 2009 Financial Aid Application to the Office of Student Financial Aid. Additionally, students requiring a Stafford Loan must submit a Federal Stafford Loan Request Form for Summer 2009. Both applications will be available on the Office of Student Financial web site on April 1, 2009.

NOTE: The application deadline is June 12, 2009.

Summer Enrollment Equivalents

Students selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education, or the University, will be required to provide requested documentation before their financial aid awards can be processed.

Students may review their financial aid status at any time on the CSU X-Press website. This website provides information relating to the amount of students’ financial aid awards, if any, as well as any requirements they need to fulfill, such as, but not limited to, submitting verification documents, tax forms, SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress) petitions, etc., before their financial aid package can be finalized.

The Office of Student Financial Aid no longer mails document tracking and award letters to continuing students. Instead, students are notified via e-mail that they should go to the CSU X-press website to review their status.

Students must be in good academic standing and making satisfactory progress to continue receiving federal Title IV financial aid. (Please see published guidelines in the Financial Assistance section of Chicago State University catalog, or on the Financial Aid page of the CSU website).

For detailed financial aid information, contact the Office of Student Financial Aid. Students not showing billable hours are not eligible for financial assistance.

Note: Special students (At-large, conditionally admitted Graduate students, or students enrolled in contract courses) are not eligible for state or federal financial assistance. There will be no consortium agreements for the Summer 2009 term.

Tuition Waiver

Eligible employees (and cooperating teachers) requesting tuition waivers must present applications to the Office of Financial Aid at CSU with all appropriate signatures by September 15 for the fall term, January 30 for the spring term and by the first day of classes for any intersession or summer school session in which the waiver is presented and the individual enrolls.

All waivers are for the term in which the course is taken, which means applications are to be subitted each term.  Waivers do not cover past due bills. Waivers will not be accepted after the deadline date.
