Releasing Financial Aid Funds

Pellissippi State releases financial aid funds one of two ways:*

  1. Receive an Electronic Deposit. 
    - Create a refund profile and have the funds deposited electronically to your checking or savings account. (Please see steps below on how to setup your electronic refund profile). Note: Electronic refunds are usually processed first.
  2. Receive a check in the mail.
    - Please verify that the college has your correct MAILING address, because having outdated mailing information may increase the time it takes to receive your check.

Pellissippi State no longer releases financial aid checks at the Cashier's window. If you do not set up a Refund Profile, your check will be mailed to your MAILING address on file.
