Financial aid disbursements 
If your financial aid file is complete, you can expect your aid to disburse on the 6th day of each semester. Financial aid awards are usually divided into two equal payments for fall and spring semesters. You need to become familiar with your eSIS account online to ensure that all funds disburse and are applied to your bill correctly. It is your responsibility to monitor your account to ensure that your bill has been paid or arrangements for payment have been made with theStudent Billing & Financial Aid Service Counter. Monitor the Billing Statement and Pending Aid areas of your eSIS account regularly, and contact the Service Counter if your aid does not disburse when anticipated.
