Financial Aid Disbursement

It is your responsibility to have funds to cover your expenses until student aid is available during your enrollment period. No grants or loan funds will be disbursed to student accounts until the week before the beginning of each semester.

If your funds are received by NWTC electronically, your financial aid funds will be applied to your student account electronically. Tuition, fees and books (if applicable) will be deducted, and a refund check will be mailed to your home address. It is our intention to process and mail refunds within 10 business days of the date aid was posted to your account.

Change in Government Regulations

If any of your funds are received by NWTC in the form of a paper check, you will be notified via mail at your home address that you need to endorse the check at the Bursar's Office before the funds can be deposited to your student account.

You must notify Enrollment Services when you drop a course(s). Students are fully responsible for tuition and fees. To avoid charges, late fees, and collection activities, students must pay class fees by the due date and must drop any classes through registration. Students will not be automatically dropped from classes by simply not attending. In addition, you need to report any address and/or phone number changes to Enrollment Services.

Disbursement Restrictions

• Funds will not be disbursed to students who are in default on a student loan, owe any grant repayment, or do not meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy of the College.
• All financial aid is contingent on the availability of funds.
• Students must present a current year NWTC ID card or a state driver's license when endorsing a paper check.
• Students must complete an on-line loan entrance interview requirement before loan funds will be disbursed.
• Funds are disbursed upon the verification of program and credit eligibility. If your program or credit load changes, you must notify the Financial Aid Staff.
