Financial Aid Process

Complete Your FAFSA

All applicants applying for federal student loans must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA typically becomes available on October 1 of each year preceding the school year. 

  • Visit studentaid.gov.
  • Log in with your FSA ID.
  • Start a new FAFSA and complete all required fields.
  • Campbell University’s federal school code is 002913.

Notification of award offer

Upon completion of your FAFSA, the Office of Financial Aid will determine your federal aid eligibility. If eligible, a financial aid offer will follow by email to your Campbell University email address. Along with the offer letter, instructions are included on how to accept your federal student loans.

In order to accept federal loans, you must log in to Self-Service. Once in Self-Service, accept, decline, or adjust the amount requested. You do not have to accept the full amount.

Disbursement

If you are a first-time Federal Direct Loan borrower, you must go to the Federal Student Aid webpage and complete the following two steps.

All aid is first disbursed to your student account at Campbell to pay for any applicable institutional charges. If a student has more aid than their charges, they will receive the excess as a refund. If a student has less aid than their charges, they will be responsible for the remaining balance.

Refund

All students are strongly encouraged to sign up for E-Refunds (direct deposit) via their TouchNet portal. For more refund information, please check out the Bursar’s Office website at the link below.

Refund Information

To receive your financial aid refund, you must sign up for direct deposit with Campbell University. Instructions on signing up for direct deposit will be sent via email. Once direct deposit information is received, your financial aid refunds will be directly deposited into the bank account that is specified.
