Disbursements

Disbursements will be released after add/drop of the awarded session, if all the following requirements are met: 1. Payment Period Enrollment, Satisfactory Academic Progress and 3. Academic Activity (see Academic Activity Requirements below). In addition, first time undergraduate student borrowers will be required to wait 30 days before receiving their first student loan disbursement.

Academic Activity Requirements

Prior to receiving the first disbursement of aid:

  • First time undergraduate students at Trident must demonstrate academic activity for all Case, SLP and Discussion Post assignments within Modules 1 and 2, as well as receive a passing grade or higher in both Case and SLP assignments.
  • Graduate and Doctoral students must demonstrate academic activity and receive a passing grade in a Case or Session Long Project (SLP) assignment.

Prior to receiving subsequent disbursements:

  • Undergraduate and Graduate students must demonstrate academic activity and receive a passing grade in a Case or Session Long Project assignment.
  • Doctoral students must demonstrate academic activity in a Case or Session Long Project assignment and are not subject to the grading requirement.

For a program of one academic year or greater in length, the second disbursement may be made when half of the credit hours and weeks of instructional time in the program’s academic year are completed. For a program of less than one academic year in length, the second half of the loan proceeds may not be disbursed until the student has successfully completed half of the coursework and half of the weeks of instructional time in the loan period.
