All financial aid and scholarship payments are processed and disbursed by:

University Disbursements Office
Student Services West, Room 2536
(619) 594-6422
disb@mail.sdsu.edu
www.sdsu.edu/sfs

Disbursement typically begins during the week before the first day of classes each semester.

  • Sign up for Direct Deposit and receive priority when disbursements are made.
    • Choosing Direct Deposit means that your financial aid or scholarship refund (the amount after institutional charges are deducted) may be deposited directly into your personal checking or savings account at your bank.
    • Information and application forms are available on the Student Financial Services Web site.
  • If you do not sign up for Direct Deposit, your funds will be mailed to you in the form of a check beginning on the first day of classes.

San Diego State University's policy is to apply financial aid and/or scholarship funds directly to charges for current year registration fees, residence hall charges, and other institutional expenses (including financial aid overpayments) before releasing funds to students.

For some types of aid, the student may need to complete additional information before disbursement of funds.

  • A student may request that their Cal Grant B Access Grant be disbursed directly to them. This request can be made at any time; however, if the grant has already been disbursed, the request would affect only future payments. The request may be made, in person, to the University Disbursements Office.
  • Federal Perkins Loan recipients are required to complete and sign legal documents prior to disbursement. The completion of all documents and the signing of the promissory note is online. You will receive email notification from SDSU's billing service, Educational Computer Systems, Inc (ECSI) when your documents are available.
  • Recipients of the University Long Term Loan will be notified by University Disbursements staff when your documents are ready.
  • Federal Work-Study paychecks are disbursed monthly at the University Disbursements Office based on hours worked the previous month submitted on a timesheet to your supervisor. A pay date schedule is available:
    • online at Pay Date Schedule
    • from University Disbursements
    • from the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships (SSW 3605)
    • from your employer
