Disbursement

Your financial aid is calculated based on your anticipated enrollment. Your account will not be credited if you are not enrolled for the number of anticipated hours as shown on your application.

Undergraduates:

0-5 hours = less than half time
6-8 hours = half time
9-11 hours = 3/4 time
12 or more hours = full time

Graduates:

0-4 hours = less than half time
5 hours = half time
6-8 hours = 3/4 time
9 or more hours = full time

A majority of scholarships, grants, waivers and loans will be credited toward the students university account after all required documentation has been received and all offers of aid have been accepted, declined or modified via MyUHV. If a student registers for a different enrollment status than he or she originally indicated, his or her aid will be revised in most instances before disbursement can be authorized. This will, in most cases, delay disbursement of aid to the students account.

UHV begins disbursing financial aid to the student accounts no earlier than the first day of class. Any resulting credit balance will be issued to the student. Beginning with the fall 2009 term, students must activate his/her new Jaguar Card and choose how they want to receive your refunds. Students will have the choice to have the refund applied to the Higher One debit card (Jaguar Card), refunds electronically sent to his/her bank account, or have a paper check mailed.

The THECB will mail a check to UHV for recipients of the Robert C. Byrd Scholarship. Some Alternative Student Loans will be mailed from the lender to UHV.

You have the right to cancel all or a portion of the loan(s) by contacting our office within 14 days of the date the student was notified of his/her loan disbursement. The funds will be returned to the Department of Education.
