Financial Literacy

The Office of Financial Aid provides interactive counseling tools to connect students with financial resources. We are committed to providing students with information and resources to manage their finances and educational debt. And ensuring students know how to budget, invest, and borrow will help students make better financial decisions. Therefore, we offer financial literacy information to help educate our students and families and assist them in making informed decisions to reach their financial goals.

We have partnered with CashCourse, a financial literacy platform designed to help students understand how to manage personal finances and money. CashCourse is a free, web-based resource for students and alumni to learn the concepts important to financial literacy and wellness. CashCourse offers a series of short course modules designed to educate students on topics such as the basics of budgeting, setting goals, understanding credit and applying for financial aid. To take advantage of the CashCourse learning environment, follow the quick start guide.
