DISBURSEMENTS

Disbursement Q & A

A disbursement occurs when the Financial Aid Office credits your financial aid to your student account.

You will receive a refund if your financial aid is greater than your tuition and fees.  Refunds are processed through the Accounting Services Office within 14 days of the disbursement date.

Yes, the Financial Aid Office will email you when we have disbursed your student loans to your student account.  If you should choose not to accept all of the loan funds at the time of disbursement, please email the Financial Aid Office at studentservices@stcl.edu

If you drop all of your classes before the end of the add/drop period, the Financial Aid Office must return all of your loan funds to the U.S. Department of Education.  If you received a refund, you must return it to the Accounting Services Office.

If you change your enrollment status from part-time to full-time, you must email the Financial Aid Office at studentservices@stcl.edu if you wish to increase your student loans to cover your additional costs. Your loan amount will not automatically be increased.

If you change your enrollment status from full-time to part-time after you receive your refund, the Financial Aid Office will recalculate your financial aid eligibility. As a result, you may need to return a portion of the refund that you received.  It is advisable to see a Financial Aid Counselor before changing your enrollment status from full-time to part-time.
