- Two disbursements per semester for Fall and Spring semesters (depending on when your file is processed and the number of units you are in at the time of disbursement.) See Disbursement Schedule.
A Pell Bookvoucher to be used at Follett Bookstore on campus will be available the first week of classes for those students who applied early and are enrolled. A letter will be sent to eligible students notifying them how much bookvoucher they are eligible for. This advance bookvoucher will be taken out of your 1st Pell disbursement.
If you will not be utilizing the Follett Bookstore voucher, your first Pell grant check will be disbursed a month after the first day of classes. If you have special circumstances, please complete the Financial Aid Appeal form. Appeals must include an attendance report signed by an instructor and documentation on where you will be purchasing their books including the name of the books and the purchase price.
