How to confirm your benefits each semester
Steps to confirm the benefits you’d like to use each semester.
How to confirm
Use MyUW Student Center to confirm which benefits you want to use each semester. If you can’t remember which benefits you’ve used before, you can view previous semesters.
Only select the benefits you are using this semester, not everything you are eligible for.
The sooner you complete this step, the sooner you can be certified.
Select the federal and/or Wisconsin benefits you want to use for this term.
Then, select “Confirm selected benefits.”
