Payments and Disbursements
For information on:
Financial aid disbursements
If your financial aid file is complete, you can expect your aid to disburse on the 6th day of each semester. Financial aid awards are usually divided into two equal payments for fall and spring semesters. You need to become familiar with your eSIS account online to ensure that all funds disburse and are applied to your bill correctly. It is your responsibility to monitor your account to ensure that your bill has been paid or arrangements for payment have been made with the Accounts Receivable Office. Monitor the Pending Financial Aid and View & Pay Bill areas of your eSIS account regularly, and contact the Financial Aid Office if your aid does not disburse when anticipated.
Sign up for Direct Deposit for refunds
Financial aid will be disbursed directly to UW-River Falls to pay your tuition, fees, housing, dining, and other charges on your account. If your aid exceeds all eligible charges on your account, a refund will be produced. To receive your refund, you must sign up for Direct Deposit through eSIS QuikPAY® after you accept your awards:
- From your eSIS home page (your Student Center), click on View & Pay Bill from the Finances section.
- Select Direct Deposit from the QuikPAY® menu and enter your bank account information. Parent Plus Loan recipients will receive letters explaining PLUS Loan refunds.
- Contact Accounts Receivable at 715.425.3145 for refund information if you do not have a bank account.
