For those of you who have a 529 plan and have withdrawn funds, do you simply get a distribution to yourself and then pay UVA such that the school has no awareness? The school’s financial age pages and docs that I’ve looked at are surprisingly silent on 529s. Nothing in the FAQ, for example, which surprised me.

I’m talking about savings plans, not “prepaid” plans, which follow a different process.
