During the school year, checks are disbursed on a monthly basis. You will complete time sheets for each pay period. Students must present an attendance certification card at the time they pick up the check. Students must be in attendance of classes the day they pick up their checks. Funds are disbursed upon verification of program and credit eligibility.
All financial aid is contingent on the availability of funds.
Students must be enrolled in an eligible program and be working toward a degree or diploma. Southwest Tech follows the Wisconsin Technical College System Refund Policy which is explained under Admission Procedures. There are a few programs with unique class schedules, with some classes starting later in the semester. Distribution dates of financial aid and repayment policy dates will be adjusted to keep the same standards for all students. The amount of aid the student may keep is proportional to the amount of time the student attended classes compared to the total days in the semester.
