Financial Aid Distribution

 

On August 24, 2009, awarded financial aid will begin to post to student accounts.  Financial aid is credited toward your tuition, fees, room and meal plan charges.  Any financial aid money in excess of your current charges will be mailed to your PAWS mailing address.

 
If you wish to have any excess aid pay other charges or prior semester charges on PAWS, you must sign a Financial Aid Authorization Form.  The completed form must be returned to the Accounts Receivable Office prior to your financial aid posting to your PAWS account.

 
You are responsible for paying any portion of your tuition not covered by your financial aid by the August 24, 2009 due date to avoid late payment fees or finance charges.  If your financial aid does not pay your total tuition, fees, room and meal charges, you will be automatically placed on the Installment Payment Plan.  Students placed on the Installment Payment Plan are required to complete a new University Credit Agreement.  See the Installment Payment Plan Section of the Fall 2009 Fee Facts for additional information. 

 

Financial Aid Refunds

 

The Cashiers Office will begin mailing Fall 2009 financial aid excess cash checks Tuesday, August 25, 2009.  Keep your PAWS Mailing address current.  All checks will be mailed to your active mailing address.  Undelivered financial aid excess cash checks may be replaced 14 days after the mailing date.  Contact the Cashiers Office bursar@uwm.edu or (414) 229-5009 for questions about the status of your excess cash check.
