Disbursement of Federal / State Funds
If the amount of student aid exceeds the amount owed for tuition and fees, students will receive the residual amount in the form of a check or direct deposit. Each term, the WSCC Cashier's Office will post a notice indicating the date distribution will begin. A provision for books and supplies will be made available to the students who have met all financial aid eligibility requirements and have a credit balance on the student account at least 10 days prior to the start of the term. The remaining balance of aid will be distributed to a student within 14 days of the date it was created or within 14 days of the first day of class. Attendance is requirement and must be confirmed prior to the remaining balance of aid being released. Students whose aid is not completed during the initial distribution will have their balance of aid amount distributed to them in the next available transfer cycle.
You will not receive a paper award letter via mail. However, you may print your award information by accessing your StarNET account (Financial Aid/Award/Award for Aid Year/Award Overview).
Students are encouraged to check their StarNET accounts to see their up-to-date status.

Note: Students are awarded financial assistance under the assumption that the student will attend the entire period for which assistance is awarded. If students withdraw (official), cease attendance (unofficial withdrawal) or never attend courses for which they are scheduled to begin they may no longer be eligible for the amount of aid originally awarded or disbursed to their account. This may result in a repayment of funds, including the advance for books and supplies, to the institution.

Exceptions:
- Student Loans are disbursed the same as other aid checks. As an exception, federal law specifies that freshmen, first-time borrowers cannot receive their first disbursement until after 30 days into the payment period. Loan proceeds are disbursed in at least two payments. Students must be attending at least six credit hours at the time they receive their student loan funds.
- Federal Work-Study students are paid once a month, on the last working day of the month for hours accumulated in the previous month. Direct deposit is used whenever practical.
