Financial Aid disbursements will begin 10 days prior to the start of your first course.
Semester B/Spring2024 Disbursement Schedule
Financial aid disbursements occur Monday thru Friday during each semester, starting on the first official disbursement day for each class. Before any funds are paid to a student we must check for enrolled units, academic progress, To Do checklist items, and other disbursement conditions. All financial aid awards are divided into two equal disbursements paid to the student, half in the Fall term and half in the Spring term, unless otherwise noted.
Semester B/Spring 2024 disbursements:
- Class of 2027: Week of January 8, 2024
- Class of 2026: Week of January 22, 2024
- Class of 2025: Week of January 8, 2024
- Class of 2024: Week of October 30, 2023
If you do not have a Semester B/Spring 2024 course that begins on your respective start date, then your financial aid will NOT disburse until 10 days prior to the start of your first enrolled course and a ‘Fin Aid Disbursement Hold’ will be added to your UAccess Student account. This hold will automatically release once it's 10 days prior to your first course.
Refunds take approximately 3-7 business days to be received after financial aid is disbursed. For additional information regarding Bursar's Refund Policies visit bursar.arizona.edu/refunds/options.
