To receive a refund, Wake Tech must receive funds from the funding source by the date specified. If you are awarded a Direct Loan, you must complete entrance counseling and sign the Master Promissory Note and acknowledge the Financial Aid Terms and Conditions before funds are released. You also must be enrolled for at least six credit hours when your funds are disbursed.

If you are taking courses in a combination of sessions that include second eight- or five-week , your financial aid will in most instances be paid in two disbursements.

If a student does not claim a refund that has been issued, the disbursement will be voided and the funds returned to the appropriate federal or state agency.


Students can use financial aid funds to purchase required textbooks and supplies for their courses during these windows:
