How can I receive my refund?

Students whose files have been completed and meet all eligibility requirements, including meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress, will have their awards released. Students can view their Financial Aid offer letter on their MyDelta, and must Accept or Deny any of the awards presented to them, as well as sign their offer letter for funding to be disbursed to their student account.

Important Reminders
  • Late start classes: You must be actively enrolled in late start courses in order for those units to be included in the disbursement. Make up disbursement will be disbursed to include late starting classes if there is an increase in the enrollment status.
  • Remedial units: Delta allows up to 30 remedial units to count toward your enrollment status. Units that exceed the maximum 30 units will not be included in the determination of the enrollment status.
  • Course 3rd repeat: Prior courses attempted and completed with a passing grade ("D" or higher) will not be included in the determination of the enrollment status if attempted for the third time.
  • ESL: ESL courses are not counted against the 30 remedial units that a student can take.

WARNING: To accept Federal financial aid at more than one institution, for the same enrollment period, is illegal. You will be required to repay the funds.
 

Fraud Policy

A student who attempts to obtain federal financial aid by fraudulent means will be reported to federal, state, and campus officials for prosecution. Such actions are, therefore, subject to Student Disciplinary actions and suspension of receiving financial aid for unsatisfactory conduct.
