The primary method to receive your financial aid, scholarships, and refunds is through direct deposit where the funds are sent directly to your savings or checking account. If you are not able to use direct deposit , you may request that your aid check be mailed to either your local or permanent address.
Before requesting a check, verify with MyUW that you have either a credit balance or undisbursed aid available and that your current address is on file in MyUW.Fill out the Aid Check Request Form to have your check mailed to you. If your request is submitted by 3:45pm Monday-Friday, the check will be mailed the same day. Requests received after 3:45pm, on weekends or on holidays will be mailed the following business day.
The check should arrive at the address that you provide within 3-5 business days. If the check does not arrive within that time, please verify the address that you provided and then contact Student Fiscal Services at 206-543-4694 or send an email to sfshelp@u.washington.edu
There is a $25 fee to issue a replacement check, so please make sure that all of the information that you provide on the Aid Check Request Form is accurate.
