Once you accept your awards on the eFAN and complete the necessary loan

paperwork, your financial aid will disburse as early as 10 days before the start of each semester.

BruinBill:

BruinBill allows debits (educational fees and other charges) and credits (financial aid disbursements or student payments) to be applied to your school account. Through BruinBill, your financial aid disbursements will automatically pay your registration fees and other outstanding University bills at the beginning of each semester. If you are not enrolled, financial aid will not be credited to your account. Your BruinBill statement will be posted on URSA (www.ursa.ucla.edu) each month. Please make sure that you review the activity in your account at least once a month.

Refunds:

Any remaining balance after semester charges are paid off will be refunded to you. Your refund will be deposited in your bank account, if you sign up for BruinDirect (see below). Refund checks will be mailed to students who do not sign up for BruinDirect.

BruinDirect:

If you sign up for BruinDirect, your refund will be transferred directly to your personal bank or credit union account. If your award is processed in a timely manner, your financial aid refund will be deposited in your account before the first day of classes. You can request BruinDirect online through your Bruin Bill statement.
