<p>Not sure what this is. Is it better/worse to authorize/not authorize?</p>

<p>"Charges Covered by Federal Title IV Financial Aid Payments
Your student account contains charges for tuition, allowable fees, and room and board. It may also include charges such as library fines, parking fines, room damage charges, and health service fees. </p>

<p>Federal Title IV financial aid, excluding federal work-study, is applied directly to your tuition and fees account. You may authorize the University to use your Title IV aid to pay for all charges billed to your account, or to limit your Title IV payments to tuition, allowable fees, and room and board charges. You may change this authorization at any time through the Office of Student Accounts."</p>
