Financial aid money is distributed to eligible students through a process called disbursement. Learn what’s involved.

About Disbursement

You receive your financial aid refund according to the semester disbursement schedule, typically as a set of two payments – one at the start of the term, and one half-way through. 

The amount of money you receive via financial aid is based on your enrollment status and eligibility. Unit checks are done approximately 2 weeks before each disbursement date. CalGrant and Direct Loan recipients must be enrolled at least half-time, or 6 units, in an approved academic program. Remaining in classes is important; if you drop classes that you received funding for, you may be asked to repay those funds.

What may cause a disbursement delay?

Changes to your FAFSA or Admissions applications, including changing your home college location, are likely to cause delays to your financial aid eligibility and disbursements. Disbursement dates are contingent upon funding and are subject to change without notice. 

Disbursements with BankMobile

MVC has partnered with BankMobile to deliver your financial aid refund. Students have the option to receive their disbursement as a direct deposit to a checking account, or to a BankMobile account. Information on how to make that choice will be sent once your financial aid application is processed and your award letter sent. You can change your refund preference at any time by logging into your BankMobile profile.
