Spring aid disbursement begins in mid-January Spring aid disbursement begins in mid-January

Financial Aid Disbursement: Spring financial aid disbursement begins in mid-January, with direct deposits for excess financial aid beginning Wednesday, Jan. 10, and paper checks mailed on Thursday, Jan. 11. Please encourage students to fill out their 2017-18 FAFSA and submit any missing requirements or documents to the Office of Financial Aid as soon as possible to avoid delays in their financial aid.

To review their account balance, students can access the Student Account Suite on their myWSU account under the myFinances tab. There, they can also sign up for direct deposit under the refunds tab.

Transfer Monitoring Holds: Federal financial aid regulations require that when a student enters an institution in the middle of an academic year, the Office of Financial Aid must place a Transfer Monitoring Hold on the student's financial aid for seven days. This hold allows our office to verify that the student is not receiving federal financial aid at another institution (regulations limit students to receiving federal financial aid at one school each payment period). Students who are transferring to Wichita State this spring should call their previous school's financial aid office to ensure that their spring financial aid has been canceled at that school so that they can receive their disbursement from Wichita State.
