Awarding and Disbursement

Tuition Deferment

• Financial aid acceptance may place a temporary tuition and fee deferment based on anticipated aid. 
• The deferment will expire – not cancel – several weeks into the term, and a late fee may apply if aid has not been disbursed.  
• Federal Work-Study cannot be used for deferment. 
• Students must monitor their myWings and pay any balance by the posted deadline. 

Bookstore Authorizations 

• Students with financial aid exceeding their tuition and allowable charges may receive a refund. 
• Eligible students may use part of an anticipated refund (up to $600 per term) at the UNF Bookstore before disbursement. 
• A bookstore authorization is part of a student’s total financial aid package – not additional funding – and may change due to enrollment or fee adjustments. 
• Authorizations are available for a limited time, usually through the add/drop period, with notifications sent via the student’s UNF email. 

Financial Aid Disbursement 

• Financial aid typically disburses about three weeks after the term begins and continues throughout the term as eligibility requirements are met. 
• After add/drop, aid may be reduced or canceled due to eligibility or outstanding requirements. 
• Funds are applied to tuition and fees first, with any remaining balance issued as a refund. 
• Enrollment changes, including withdrawals, transient or split-term enrollment (e.g., summer sessions) may delay or affect disbursements.
