Athletic award disbursement
Books and supplies
Obtain all required textbooks by going to the scholarship desk at the University Bookstore. You will be on the list of student-athletes with book scholarships. Do not charge your books to your University student account using your U Card. You must return all books/materials at the end of each semester or you will be billed for 75 percent of the original cost. If you need your books past the end of the term contact the Athletic Compliance scholarship coordinator prior to the initial book return deadline.
Check out any required supplies listed in your course syllabus from the scholarship desk at the University Bookstore, in the same manner as your required books.
Tuition/fees
The Athletic Compliance scholarship coordinator will apply the tuition and required fees portion of your athletic scholarship directly to your University student account. If you do not waive any optional fees or the University Health Insurance at the time you register for classes, you will be billed for them. Athletic aid cannot cover the cost of optional/non-required fees.
On-campus living
If you reside on campus, the scholarship coordinator will apply the room portion of your athletic scholarship for payment of housing charges in your University student account.
If the scholarship coordinator has information to indicate you are signed up for a meal plan, payment will be made directly to your student account to pay for those charges. The maximum meal plan that can be covered by your athletic scholarship is the 19 meals per week plan. If you choose the unlimited meal plan, you will be billed for the difference.
Off-campus living
If you reside off campus, the board/meal plan portion of your athletic scholarship will be requested and you will receive four payments for your housing throughout each semester. A direct deposit refund will be sent to the bank account (checking or savings) you have set up for direct deposit.
Your first room and board refund will be sent the first week of classes for the term. Be aware that your refund may be delayed if you still have eligibility issues pending or other outstanding issues.
