Fall 2026 - Financial Aid Disbursement Katrina Dawn ShorterShow MyInfo popup for Katrina Dawn Shorter 9/2/2026 8:42:07 AM

Financial Aid for the Fall 2026 semester will begin to be posted to the student accounts after the Census date (September 15th 2026).

Please note that disbursements do not occur at the same time for all students. Additional disbursements will continue throughout the semester. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated as we expedite the refund process. 

 

 Any excess financial aid will be refunded and transferred through your refund preference according to the refund option you selected within two weeks of the date that it is posted to the student account. Our office will be working diligently to process refunds as quickly as possible. If you are expecting a refund, please refrain from inquiring about the status of your refund during this time. Please note that Crowder College disburses excess financial aid before the college receives the monies from federal aid.

You can track your financial aid status and/or refund status by logging on to the My Crowder portal and viewing the “Finance” tab. From there you will have access to the “Financial Aid” and “My Student Account” tabs. You can view your financial aid status by clicking on the “Financial Aid” tab. Your refund status can be viewed on the “My Account” section or by selecting the “Semester Statement” option and choosing FALL 2026.  Once your refund has been requested, you will notice a transaction near the bottom that will say “Crowder Transact Refund.” Please keep in mind that this date only reflects the date that the transfer occurs, not the date that the money will actually hit your bank account or a check being cut.

If you have not already selected your refund preference, please do so immediately and choose a refund preference. Please follow the steps listed below.

  1. Visit and login to your MyCrowder Account.
  2. Navigate to the "Finances” tab.
  3. Click on “Student Account Refunds”
  4. You will be directed to the Transact Portal where you will see a button to “Setup Direct Deposit” Follow the prompts to complete setup.
