Does the Cashiers and Student Account Office provide any banking services to students?

How do I receive my financial aid award money?
The University will credit financial aid directly to the student's account to pay tuition, required fees, room and board. Any overpayment owed to a student as a result of the financial aid being credited directly to the student's account will receive a refund. The refund will be disbursed to the student either as a direct deposit or a paper check mailed to their campus box or local mailing address.
What can I do if my financial aid award is not enough to cover all of my university charges?
A University approved monthly tuition payment plan is offered to you via an independent agency. If you would like to use the TuitionPay monthly plan, please contact them at 1-800-635-0120. The TuitionPay monthly plan may also be used to supplement all forms of financial aid or it can be used alone as a monthly payment plan.

If I graduate or leave UNCG for any reason, when do I have to start paying on my Perkins or Institutional student loans?
The Perkins and Institutional Loan Programs provides a nine (9) month grace period if you fail to enroll at another institution for at least six (6) credit hours.
Can I repay my loans before my grace period is up?
Payments made on your student loans while in your grace period are acceptable and saves you money. These payments are considered advance payments and reduces your principal balance owed on your loans therefore, you pay less interest on your loans.
How long do I have to repay my student loans that I received at UNCG?
Your student loans have a ten (10) year repayment period, but if you pay more than the minimum monthly payment and pay on time the length of your repayment period can drastically be reduced.
Where can I find all of my loans received while I was a student at UNCG?
You may request from the Financial Aid Office a financial aid transcript that provides a complete record of aid received from UNCG during your enrollment.
