Policies | Financial Aid Disbursements

When Financial Aid is disbursed to your account, the Cashier's Office will process the refund and remit the funds to the bank account authorized on your Direct Deposit Authorization Form [doc]. Please check the myWings web portal to determine if the financial aid 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 refund will be processed. The Cashiers Office generally processes direct deposits on Thursdays, so most refunds should be deposited into bank accounts on Friday.

Your financial aid disbursement refund will be processed after deducting tuition & fees (institutional charges) and other charges such as books and housing (if applicable). If you want your financial aid to pay miscellaneous charges, you must complete a Financial Aid Authorization Form [doc]. We process financial aid refunds weekly and deposit them via EFT directly into your bank account. Complete the Direct Deposit Authorization Form [doc] , attach a voided check and return it to the Cashiers Office.

If you owe tuition & fees for a prior term it may not be deducted and you will still be responsible for payment of the prior balance due. According to college policy, you will not be able to register for subsequent semesters until your account balance is paid in full.

Please remember: If you have been chosen for verification by the federal government, your financial aid will not be disbursed until you have submitted all required documentation and the Financial Aid Office has verified the information as being correct.

To ensure you will receive a financial aid disbursement, please check your myWings account to ensure you have accepted or declined all of your aid and outstanding requirements have been satisfied. Tuition, fees, advances, books and housing expenses will be deducted from the first available aid or payment source.

For non-EFT (paper) loan checks, the Cashier's Office will notify the student via email to come into 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 directly deposited into your bank account per your Direct Deposit Authorization Form [doc].

Non-EFT (paper) Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (FPLUS) checks are mailed to the parent for endorsement. The parent must endorse the check and return it to the Cashier's Office for processing. Upon receipt of the endorsed check, the school will deduct institutional charges and mail any remaining funds to the parent. Parents can elect to receive their refund via EFT by completing a Direct Deposit Authorization Form. Please indicate PLUS at the top of the form. Direct deposit is a much safer and faster way to receive your refund.
