Important Note: Not all aid will disburse at the same time.
Federal Aid: We usually begin releasing federal financial aid (Pell, SEOG, Direct Loans) for disbursement the first week of class, if the student is meeting all requirements.
State Aid: We usually begin releasing state aid for disbursement the first week of class, if the student is meeting all requirements. However, please note that OHLAP (Oklahoma's Promise) and OTAG (Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant) can be delayed by a few weeks as they require more time to verify eligibility.
Institutional (UCO) Scholarships: We usually begin releasing Institutional (UCO) Scholarships earlier than other aid. These dates typically tend to fall on or around Fall - July 10th, Spring - December 10th, Summer - May 10th.
Outside Scholarships: Once we receive a scholarship check from the awarding organization, it will be posted to your student account within 7-10 business days. If you are due a refund from an outside scholarship, it will not be processed until after the add/drop period for the semester.
If your financial aid has not disbursed to your account, please verify that all requested items have been submitted and cleared. Remember, it takes 2-3 weeks after your final requirement has been marked as received for your award(s) to disburse.
Refunds: If, after disbursement, you are due a refund on your balance, it will be processed on the next Thursday following your disbursement date. Refunds are issued to the method you selected in your TouchNet account. Please monitor your refund activity in your UCONNECT account.
