Refunds for Financial Aid
Refund Policy
If a student's account reflects a credit balance, the Bursar's Office will analyze the account for any outstanding loans, library fines, parking citations or other fees owed to the university before a refund will be processed. Once any outstanding debts to the university have been paid, either a paper refund check or an electronic funds transfer will be processed for the remaining credit balance.
A paper refund check will normally be available to for pick up at the Bursar's Office three business days after the refund was generated. A valid ID must be presented when picking up a refund check from the Bursar Office. Students requesting refunds to be sent direct deposit can expect to receive their funds in three or more business days, depending on the banking institution the funds are sent to.
Beginning the summer of 2008, paper refund checks will be processed on a weekly basis and will be mailed to the current address on the student account. Students are encouraged to set up direct deposit of refunds thru the EZPay Payment Portal to avoid waiting for paper checks to be processed and received in the mail.
Note: Please make sure that you have provided the University with a valid local address. Foreign addresses will cause a delay in the availability of refunds. You may update your address at the Registrar's Office or online thru Galaxy.
