Financial Aid Distribution Fall – Begins September 02, 2008
All financial aid must first be used to pay any amount due to the University.  Students paying with financial aid (loans, grants, scholarships, or other awards) must also pay according to the billing schedule and are responsible for service charges that may be assessed.

If you receive Financial Aid, refund requirements of the Higher Education Amendments may affect your adjustment or balance due the University if you withdraw either officially or unofficially. UW-La Crosse is responsible for complying with federal regulations governing participation in the student financial assistance programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 as amended.  To the extent that these regulations require a larger return of funds to federal funding sources than the amount specified by the adjustment policy stipulated below, the student is responsible for the difference.
