Disbursement of Financial Aid Funds While Studying Abroad

After the SDSU semester begins, your aid will be released. (**if all necessary documents have been processed).

• For SDSU Exchange, International Business Exchange, ISEP Exchange, and Global Seminar, your SDSU tuition and fees will be deducted by the University Bursar's Office and the remainder will be disbursed to you by direct deposit. Please make sure your direct deposit is set up in your financial accounts tile or your remaining funds will be sent as a check. ** No Contractual-Special Enrollment Agreement Needed. 
• If you participate in the CSU International Program, your money will be forwarded to the CSU Chancellor's Office to pay your costs and remaining funds will be direct deposited to you or sent as a check. ** No Contractual-Special Enrollment Agreement Needed. 
• If you are studying abroad through a Direct Enroll, ISEP Direct or Partner Program, a Contractual-Special Enrollment Agreement and Verification of Enrollment Letter will be necessary to release your financial aid.
  • Once we receive all mandatory documents, your financial aid will be disbursed to you. You will then be responsible for paying for your program/host institution.
  • Private Loans and Scholarships, while participating in a third party program, may have different document requirements for release of funds. The required task will be added to my.sdsu. Please consult the Cal Coast Student Financial Center with questions.
