Financial Aid Disbursement
A student must be officially accepted to Rasmussen University part of American Public University System (Rasmussen) in an eligible degree, diploma or certificate program as one of the eligibility requirements to receive and have financial aid disbursed to their student account. Rasmussen begins disbursing financial aid no earlier than three weeks into the term. Funds are first applied to your tuition and fee charges. Any remaining funds (excess funds) are disbursed to you, the student. All financial aid excess funds and other school refunds are delivered to students through a partnership between Rasmussen and BankMobile. Your student account will show an unpaid balance until this disbursement occurs. If the aid you are eligible to receive does not cover your charges, a Student Payment Plan is created and can be viewed on the Student Account Center.
