The Office of Financial Aid and the Bursar's Office work together all year to process students' financial aid.

This task requires many offices and at least five business days for processing after the date of dispersement. The date that students get their refunds varies.

“We're doing everything we have the resources to do to get the students their funds as quickly as possible,” Kim Brown, controller, said.

Financial aid and reimbursements are complex tasks that involve many aspects of many offices, including the postal service and the students' personal banks.
