If you have charges and do not authorize the aid, you must pay the fees yourself. Your account will be placed on hold until they are paid. Your refund will also be delayed. Follow these steps to complete the authorization: 1. Log into myWings, student tab 2. Select “Student Self Service” 3. Select “Online Forms” 4. Select “Financial Aid Authorization” and follow prompt Yes, it’s that time again – Refunds are here! Financial Aid can begin releasing onto student accounts during the 3rd week of the semester. That is the same week that some of you will receive your refund (May 28th). In order to receive your refund fast you will need a direct deposit account. To set up your direct deposit, log onto myWings and go to the Student Tab. Choose “View and Pay my Bill”, and then select the eRefunds tab. You will be prompted to enroll in direct deposit using your banks routing and account number for either a checking or savings account. Once you are all set up and a refund is ready for you, we will send you an email to let you know that we are sending the refund amount to your direct deposit account. OZZIE’$ TIP OF THE MONTH It’s tempting to take your financial aid refund and go shopping, but ask yourself a few questions first. 1. Do I really need this ______ (shirt, car, jacket, move, etc.) 2. Am I willing to pay interest on this item just so I can have it now? If you take out student loans and then receive a refund, you are being given money that sooner or later you will be paying interest on. The best thing you can do with your refund, after purchasing the items that you strictly need for school, is to return it to the lender. This way you will have a lower amount to pay at graduation and you will be paying significantly less interest over the course of your repayment. NEED MORE INFORMATION?
