Financial Aid Office

Disbursements and Refunds

Financial aid disbursements begin ten days prior to the first official class day of each term.   Disbursements will automatically occur only if the student meets the eligibility requirements for minimum number of enrolled hours, actual enrollment versus anticipated enrollment for the term, financial aid standards of academic progress, and financial eligibility.

Refunds are prepared by the Bursar's Office after all debt to UTD is paid.  You should be able to log into Galaxy to see if your aid has been credited to your account after the disbursement date for each term.

Fall 2008

08/11/2008 – Disbursement of available financial aid funds to the Bursar's Office begins for those students who are registered in the appropriate credit hours for the Fall 2008 term.

08/15/2008 – First day refunds will be available. Students who signed up for direct deposit via EZPay will begin to see their financial aid refunds in their personal bank account.  Refunds via paper check will be mailed to students at the address on file with the Bursar's Office.

Students who are on financial aid probation for the Summer will have their Fall financial aid placed on hold until Summer grades are reviewed to determine continued eligibility.

Students who registered in less than the anticipated credit hours for the Fall 2008 term may have their financial aid released to the Bursar's Office after any needed adjustments are made.  If your actual hours of enrollment are different than the anticipated hours indicated on your FAFSA, please complete the Financial Aid Hours Adjustment Form.  If actual enrolled hours do not match anticipated hours there may be delays in the disbursement of funds.  Please be aware that you will need to be enrolled at UTD in at least 6 hours as an undergraduate student and 5 hours as a graduate student for aid to be disbursed.
