How to Defer
Ringling College will defer the payment of the balance due for the semester by the following methods:
Anticipated aid will be deferred for students with an official award notification. If the anticipated financial aid is reduced or canceled, the student is responsible for the balance due.
Full Service Payment Plan (FSSP) provides the ability to finance the balance due for the semester over the academic year, interest free. Only tuition, fees, room, and required board charges are included in the Full Service Payment Plan contract. Visit Cashnet to enroll.
Notification of Financial Aid Package
The Office of Financial Aid uses electronic means to communicate with you. It is your responsibility to keep your Ringling email address current and to read messages that are sent to your email. It also is important that you keep your mailing address and phone number current with Ringling College’s Records and Registration Office as we communicate through traditional means as well.
Only those students who have filed a FAFSA will receive a Financial Aid Notification Letter. For new students who have been accepted, notification letters will be mailed approximately two weeks after acceptance starting in early December. Returning students’ award notifications will be emailed starting in April each year.
The College will assume that you wish to accept all awards unless you notify us to let us know which financial aid programs you do not wish to accept. If you do not wish to accept all aid programs, please notify us in writing, preferably by email and list the program(s) in which you do not wish to participate.
We can cancel your request for a federal student loan at any time up to and including receipt of the funds at the College.
If your financial aid (grants, scholarships, and federal loans) doesn’t cover the entire bill, there are three main options:
- You can enroll in the Monthly Tuition Payment Plan administered by the Bursar’s Office and make interest-free, monthly payments
- You can borrow a private student loan from a commercial lender. See the lender listings on the Private Student Loan page
- One of your parents can borrow a federal parent PLUS loan to cover your balance. See the PLUS Loan page for more information regarding this popular program.
95% of Ringling students receive aid from the College. We invite you to use our net price calculator to estimate your potential costs and awards. Use the if you are a prospective, full-time student to estimate your tuition and fees; grants and scholarships; and federal grants and loans.

Please note that you must have a financial aid record already established at Ringling College in order to use this site. If you have not begun the financial aid application process, you can get started by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Once we receive your information from this application, we’ll notify you so that you can start using this site.
Disbursement
All gift aid (aid that doesn’t have to be repaid) is applied to your bill first, meaning programs such as state grants, federal grants, and scholarships. Loan funds are then applied as follows: (1) Federal Direct student loans, (2) Parent PLUS (if eligible), (3) private student loans.
For the Federal Direct student loans, funds are sent from the government to the Ringling College Business Office by electronic funds transfer. Further, most private student loans are sent from commercial lenders to Ringling College. If there is a credit balance after all of your aid has been applied to your account, you or your parents (in case of a PLUS loan) will be issued a refund.
All financial aid (excluding Federal Work Study) is applied to your account after the drop and add period has ended each semester. The business office processes the accounts and any funding in excess of your fees will be given to you or your parents (in case of a PLUS loan) in a refund. Refunds are issued within 14 days from receipt and posting of the funds. The Bursar’s Office will notify you to come to their office on the second floor of the student center to endorse the check so they can finalize processing. It is important for you to respond promptly to their request as it will delay the processing of your refund, if you will receive one. Even if you will not receive a refund, it is imperative that you endorse your check as soon as possible as it could delay your ability to register for subsequent terms.
