Financial Aid Disbursements

When Financial Aid schedules your disbursement, the Cashier's Office will process the checks and mail to the address of record within fourteen (14) days. Please check myWings web portal to see if you are scheduled to receive a disbursement and/or if the disbursement has been credited to your account.  Please note that the date on myWings is the date the disbursement is credited to your account, and not the date that the check will be mailed.

Your financial aid disbursement will be mailed to you after deducting tuition & fees, and housing (if applicable). If you want your financial aid to pay miscellaneous charges, you must complete a Financial Aid Authorization Form. We process financial aid checks weekly and mail them as soon as they are processed. You may have your refund check directly deposited into your checking account. Complete the Direct Deposit Authorization Form and attach a voided check.

If you owe tuition & fees for a prior term it may not be deducted and the student will be still be  responsible for payment of the prior balance due. You will not be able to register for subsequent semesters until paid in full.

Please remember: If you have been chosen for verification, your funds will not be disbursed until you have submitted all required documentation and Financial Aid has verified your information as being correct.

To receive a financial aid disbursement for aid other than a Federal Stafford Loan, you must return your signed award letter at least one week prior to the scheduled disbursement to the Financial Aid Office. Tuition, fees, advances and housing expenses will be deducted from the first available aid or scholarship source.

For non-EFT (paper) loan checks, the Cashier's Office will notify the student to stop in the Cashier's Office to endorse the check. The loan will be processed and applied to the student's account during the next financial aid disbursement. if a refund is due, it will be mailed (or directly deposited if you have authorized it) to your mailing address, usually within 3 business days from the financial aid disbursement.

If Federal Stafford Loans funds are received via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), the Cashier's Office will deduct institutional charges and mail the remaining funds to the student.

Non-EFT (paper check) Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (FPLUS) are mailed from the lender to the university. The university verifies enrollment and mails the check to the parent for endorsement.  Upon receipt of the endorsed check, the school will deduct institutional charges and mail any remaining funds to the parent.
