Disbursement Procedures

If you have been approved to receive grants, scholarships and/or loans, these funds will be electronically applied to your tuition and fee expenses (and on-campus room and board, if applicable). If you have any "excess funds" after your grant and/or loans have paid your university account, you will receive a refund check in the following manner:

* If you register during the university's Early Registration period, you can anticipate your refund check to be mailed to your LOCAL ADDRESS 3-5 days PRIOR TO the university's Regular Registration period.

* If you register during the university's Regular Registration period, you can anticipate your refund check to be mailed to your LOCAL ADDRESS 2-3 days AFTER the university's Regular Registration period.

* If your grants and/or loans are approved and processed AFTER the Regular Registration period, your refund check will be mailed to your LOCAL ADDRESS after the funds have been electronically applied to your university account.

NOTE: some types of grants and/or loans may be received in the Financial Aid Office (FAO) from state agencies and/or lenders via paper checks, instead of electronically. If so, you will be notified by the FAO as to when the funds will be available for disbursement.
