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.

Financial Aid Refund Checks

Oxford Campus

Students who receive more financial aid than their fees may receive a refund check from the University.  Students who have completed the financial aid process and have registered for the required number of credit hours at least ten days before the term begins may receive refund checks in the first week of the term, providing there is a credit balance after all University charges have been paid.

Visit the Financial Assistance website at www.muohio.edu/sfa/timeline for loan disbursement timelines.  Refund checks are mailed within 14 days after loans are disbursed.

Regional Campuses
For students who are receiving federal, state, and/or institutional aid, visit the Financial Assistance website at www.muohio.edu/sfa/timeline for initial disbursement timelines. Refund checks are mailed within 14 days after loans are disbursed.

Drop your own unwanted courses. Do not assume that you will be automatically dropped for non-attendance. If a full-time student drops below 12.0 credit hours within the first five days of the semester, a full refund will be credited for credit hours less than 12.0. A drop in credit hours after the fifth day of the semester will not create a refund.
