Effective Fall 2018, the Financial Aid & Scholarships Office has changed the timing of fee payment disbursements to comply with federal regulations. This means that fee payments now disburse no sooner than 10 days prior to the start of each quarter.
This change affects all types of support from Financial Aid (non-direct and direct loans) as well as departmental support (GSR and TA Fee Remission and fellowship fee payments). The disbursement date for all aid to student accounts for Winter 2019 is Friday, December 28, 2018.
To assist students with understanding their online bill payments, Financial Aid and Student Financial Solutions has created a “Pending Awards” box section on E-Bill that will reflect estimated awards and provide an “Adjusted Amount Due”. Students can view this information by selecting “Current Account Activity” or “Unpaid Transactions” in the E-Bill.
Per Financial Aid:
- Only departmental support requested for the current quarter (i.e. Winter 2019) will reflect in the “Pending Awards” box.
- Student with holds on their accounts will not see pending support on their E-Bill. So, if student’s record is in a status where it is not eligible for disbursement (i.e. MDET, RESD holds), the pending award box will not show on the E-Bill page.
