Disbursement
Check your WyoRecords account to make sure all of your Financial Aid requirements are satisfied.
Financial aid will disburse the first business day after the drop period ends for each term. After the first disbursement date of a semester, UW disburses aid nightly Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Once funds release, they will pay towards your UW charges. If there is a remainder (credit balance), it will be disbursed (refunded) to the student. If you have signed up for electronic refunds (WyoRefunds), a refund will usually be received by your bank within 2-5 business days. Otherwise, your refunds will be processed as a check refund and mailed to your current mailing address. Such refunds are only processed on Wednesdays and could take 10-14 business days to be received. For questions and additional information please contact Accounts Receivable.
- For payment deadlines please visit the Accounts Receivable web page.
- It is possible to set up a Banner charge account at the UW Bookstore to charge your books to your UW bill until your funds disburse.
- Most types of aid are disbursed in two payments. This means that half of your aid will be issued to you at the beginning of fall and spring semesters.
- You must be enrolled as a degree seeking student in order to receive financial aid.
- If you are borrowing a loan, you will also receive a letter from your lender telling you about your rights and responsibilities as a borrower.
- A separate award package is created for those attending summer session once the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid has received the Application for Summer Financial Aid.
