Disbursement Policy
The quickest way to receive your refund is by setting-up Web Refund (also known as ACH delivery). You can set-up Web Refund through your UAccess Student Center. You must have your web refund set up 10 days prior to the first day of classes to receive the earliest refund electronically. Additional help for setting up UAccess Web Refund is available at https://bursar.arizona.edu/refunds/options.

U.S. Department of Education regulations only allow schools to use Federal Student Aid to pay current academic year charges. Therefore, students are not able to use Federal Student Aid to pay Bursar’s student account charges for a previous academic year. The University of Arizona will release your current academic year’s funds without paying previous academic year charges. You may then pay your student account as you determine appropriate. University of Arizona’s academic year is made up of fall, winter, spring, summer, in that order. For that reason, summer semester charges cannot be paid with Federal Student Aid awarded for the following fall semester.
