DISBURSEMENT

Financial aid administered through WVU's Financial Aid Office will be applied to charges for tuition and housing (if applicable).  Any funds remaining after all charges are paid will be mailed beginning the first week of classes to the student's local address on file with Admissions and Records.  To make sure your local address is current, check the STAR system or call Admissions & Records at (304) 293-2124.  Most financial aid will be available at that time, however, some types of assistance coming from sources outside WVU (some state assistance and private scholarships) may be late in arriving.  It is the student's responsibility to monitor receipt of this assistance with the Office of Student Accounts (billing and payment office).  They may be reached at (304) 293-4006.

If you are required to make personal payment on your account, WVU offers three different payment options for university charges:

1.  60/40 Plan - For fall and spring semesters, tuition and fees may be paid in two installments.  60% (after applying financial aid) is due by the payment date shown on your invoice and the remaining 40% is due by the end of the sixth week of classes.  For more information, contact the Office of Student Accounts at (304) 293-4006.

2.  Tuition Pay Plan - A monthly payment plan for students or parents wishing to pay tuition/fees and room/board in monthly installments.  There are no interest charges - only an enrollment fee.  To assist you in determining your 2006-07 academic year PLan amount, go to http://www.arc.wvu.edu/admissions/costs.html (Main Campus) or http://potomacstatecollege.edu/admissions/tuition.html (Potomac State Campus).
