Using Title IV Financial Aid Refunds to Pay Prior Year Charges
Federal financial aid regulations permit WU to automatically apply a maximum of $200.00 from the current academic year to pay any prior year’s outstanding balance. If there is a prior academic year balance, WU will deduct up to $200.00 from your current year’s federal aid and disburse the remaining credit balance to you. It is your responsibility to resolve the outstanding balance. If your refund option method is by check, you may return the check to the Payment Office or to one of the University’s locations. If your refund option is direct deposit, you can process payment via or by presenting a check at any of the University’s locations. The financial hold, which will restrict WU services, will remain on your account until your outstanding balance is resolved.
