Financial Aid Disbursement, Bursar Refunds, Dropping Classes, Withdrawal for Semester

How will I receive my financial aid awards?

Financial aid awards will credit by semester to your bursar account once you are enrolled in the required number of credit hours and meet all other eligibility requirements. Federal student aid will disburse no earlier than 10 days prior to the first day of the semester. If you have funds available after the tuition, fees and other IUPUI charges have been paid, you will receive a refund check by mail or electronic transfer of funds by direct deposit from the Office of the Bursar. Visit your OneStart account > Services > Self-Service > Bursar & Financial Aid for additional financial aid award and bursar and bill information. From OneStart, you can select the option for direct deposit that provides for a quicker delivery of your funds.
