Refunds
Refunds are processed for individuals who have credit balances on their accounts.
There are several reasons why an individual may have a credit balance.
- Financial Aid - When
a financial aid award exceeds the amount of charges on an account a credit
balance is created. Refunds for surplus Financial Aid are mailed to the local
address within 14 days after the Financial Aid disbursement.
- Student withdrawals and
schedule changes - When a student withdraws from the University and is due
a refund, a check will be mailed to the home address. No refunds will be made
until thirty (30) days have elapsed from the effective date of withdrawal.
- Miscellaneous credit balances occur from time to time as a result of a cancellation of an appealed charge or an overpayment on an account. These refunds are mailed to the local address as they are discovered or requested by the student. An individual is not eligible for a refund unless the cancellation causes a credit balance.
Refunds can also be directly deposited into any bank in the United States. To sign up for Direct Deposit visit Roudebush Hall Room 107, Accounts Payable or click here for the form.
