Financial Aid Disbursements

After your fees have been paid in full, you have two options for receiving the excess financial aid funds remaining on your account:

A Check is Mailed to you

A financial aid disbursement check is normally mailed out to a student after the funds are delivered to the University and the student’s tuition and fees have been paid. Financial aid disbursement checks are not mailed until that student’s fee obligations are paid in full.

More information is available at the Office of Financial Aid in UH-146
