There are a few parts to disbursements and refunds. Understand what you need to do and how the process works by visiting the

disbursement schedule too.
If you are eligible for a refund, it can only be sent to you after you accept your award
and your aid has been transmitted to your tuition account summary. All refunds to financial aid students are made through
eRefunds.
If you’re receiving financial aid grants or loans, you must attend your classes. Don’t drop or stop attending any class without consulting the
Financial Aid Office. Changes in your enrollment level or failing grades may require you to repay federal financial aid funds.
