APRIL EDITION
All Things Dining
Spend Before the End – There are only a few weeks left in the semester! Dining Dollars and Block Meals (Stryker Dining Plans & Reuter Plan) expire the last day of finals (May 16). They do not carry over into the next school year. If your student is not sure how many Dining Dollars or Block Meals they have left, they can check the GET Mobile App. Or they can ask the cashier at any dining location.
Bundles – Does your student have Dining Dollars or Block Meals left to spend by the end of the semester? They can visit either convenience store on campus (Whitney Center or the Student Union) and check out all of the special offers that are available. We have deals on snacks, beverages, and more! These deals will run through the end of the school year!
Events – The semester is half over, but we still have a ton of events happening in dining! Everything from Late Night Breakfast to the Spring Spectacular to ColorFul. There will be emails and social media posts promoting all of the upcoming events!
Financial Aid Information
Summer Financial Aid Process:
Students planning to take Summer 2025 courses may be eligible for summer financial aid. Summer financial aid is determined using FAFSA data, credit load, and the resources available.
To be considered for Summer 2025 financial aid, your student must:
- First, complete the 2025-26 FAFSA, including UWL's school code: 003919.
- Next, register for summer 2025 courses—-registration begins April 3rd!
- Finally, submit the Application for Summer 2025 Financial Aid via their WINGS To-Do List
The Financial Aid Office reviews Applications for Summer Financial Aid in the order they are received. Students will receive an e-mail when their Summer 2025 financial aid offer is available in WINGS. Encourage your student to promptly follow the instructions in the email for accepting/declining any summer financial aid they may be offered. Summer financial aid will be disbursed on the first day of the first summer school session the student is registered for, if all necessary paperwork is completed.
Outstanding Student Account Balances:
Encourage your student to check their WINGS Student Center for any outstanding balances from Spring 2025. Unpaid balances can result in a hold on class registration. If your student needs assistance navigating an outstanding balance, encourage them to visit the Financial Aid Office, call, or email us. We’re here to help!
