How to View Student Financial Aid Title IV Permissions

Federal regulations allow The Ohio State University to apply your Title IV  federal financial aid funds to your institutional charges such as tuition, course and program fees, technology and site-based fees, and housing and meal plan charges. Title IV federal financial aid includes Pell Grants, Direct Student Loans, Perkins Loans and TEACH and FSEOG grants.

Beginning summer term 2016, you must grant a one-time authorization to Ohio State if you want your Title IV funds applied to all charges on your Statement of Account, including Student Health Insurance, orientation fees, penalty and late fees, etc.

 

Critical Note

You are not required to provide this authorization. However, if your authorization is not received prior to the disbursement of financial aid for the term, Title IV funds may not be applied to all charges, which may result in an outstanding balance that will cause late fees to be assessed if not paid by the due date.
