Financial Aid

Financial Aid will be electronically posted to a student’s tuition account if an award has been accepted, the student is enrolled for the correct number of credits, and the funds have been received by UW-Parkside. To comply with Federal Cash Management Regulations, we will not begin to disburse financial aid to tuition accounts until ten days prior to the start of classes.

Awarded Financial Aid will be credited to the student’s UW-P account. Tuition and fees will be deducted from the credited amount. If there is excess financial aid above tuition and fees, a refund will be generated. Refunds will be processed as requested when activating the RangerOne Card Account. Refunds are transmitted weekly after FA is credited to the UWP account and will be available as follows:

First Time Stafford Loan Borrowers

First time borrowers must complete Stafford Loan Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note (MPN). To access go to The UW-Parkside Financial Aid Office website and complete loan counseling and MPN.

First Time Perkins Loan Borrowers

First time Perkins Loan borrowers must complete loan entrance counseling and Master Promissory Note for the Perkins loan. To access go to The UW-Parkside Financial Aid Office website and complete loan counseling and MPN.

Financial Aid Disbursements and Credit Level

If you are enrolling for less than full-time status, you should contact the Office of Student Financial Aid to ensure your aid has been adjusted accordingly. Your enrollment level at the end of the 100% refund period will be used to determine aid award levels if a financial aid application is on file at that time.

Non-Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Loans

Only loan checks from non-participating EFT banks and scholarship checks payable to the student need to be signed at the Cashier’s Office. All loan checks not signed within one week of receipt will be returned to the lender. Students will be notified via e-mail when their paper loan check has been received. Students who have check(s) that must be signed and then applied to a student’s account will receive appropriate refunds as designated by the student when he/she activates their RangerOne Card.

Important: Check your e-mail. The University will be corresponding with you via e-mail.

Any questions regarding fees or payment information should be addressed to the Cashier’s Office, (262)595-2582 or (262)595-2258.

NOTE: To receive financial aid you must do the following:

No Financial Aid By the Tuition Due Date?
