Financial Aid Deadlines and Time Frames
Refunds
Once a refund has been issued, the following time frames should be allowed for a student to receive a refund. Students will be notified by Higher One, using the notification method the student selected, when the funds are available.
- Broncho Spirit Card - funds should be available on the card within 48 hours of the school issuing the refund.
- Direct Deposit - funds should be deposited in a student's bank account within 3 days of the school issuing the refund.
FAFSA Processing through the Federal Processor
- The status of electronic applications may be checked on-line at the FAFSA website, www.fafsa.ed.gov, 72 hours after submitting a completed application.
- UCO should be able to receive results of the FAFSA within 2 weeks of the Federal Processor date through a weekly download process. Records processed through Thursday are downloaded and loaded into the system generally by the following Wednesday. The best time for students to check on a new load of records is on Wednesday.
UCO Processing of Complete Files
The end result of processing should be an award notification, a request for more information or a letter why the student cannot be awarded, all of which will be sent to the student's UCO email address.
