Financial Aid Disbursement
Financial aid is awarded by the Financial Aid Office and disbursed by the CPU Business Office. If your aid exceeds tuition and fees, the remaining balance will be issued via direct deposit. For students outside the U.S.A., funds will be sent by international wire transfer. If neither method is available, a check may be issued. All checks are valid for 6 months from the issue date. If not cashed within that period, the check becomes stale and the funds will be returned to the original funding agency, such as FSA or Cal Grant, in accordance with regulations. If you have any questions, please stop by the campus.
