Thanks for the comments so far. I am actually in Maryland’s “College Investment Plan” (that’s where we live). Looks like for this one I should request a “distribution” to me and not mess with UVA directly.

With the high cost of OOS tuition, the 529’s value doesn’t cover nearly what we have left for the remaining payments, so we also have some flexibility in when to cash in, too. The market hasn’t done our 529 any favors in recent years, either!
