Refunds/Overpayments

The Student Accounts Office has automated the process of issuing refund checks. All credit balances generated by financial aid will be automatically issued and mailed to your preferred address in the Registrar’s system. Please make sure your address is correct with the Office of the Registrar to ensure you receive your checks. To simplify the disbursement of your funds, direct deposit is available. If you wish to participate in direct deposit, please go to Colleague Self Service to enter your banking information.

Financial Aid refunds are disbursed within fourteen calendar days from when the credit balance has been created or fourteen calendar days from the start of the term, whichever date is later. Other forms of refunds from adjustments or payments are to be requested.

Tuition deposit refunds are to be requested with Admissions for approval. Please know that any approved tuition deposits will be disbursed to the student via check in US dollars. These refunds will not be credited back to a credit card or returned to a bank account.

Note:

If a credit card payment was made to your account within sixty calendar days of the refund date, funds will be issued to the credit card first. Any additional credit that remains will then be issued to you. Credit balances generated from the Parent Plus loan will be refunded to the parent unless otherwise noted on loan application. The refund of a credit balance is not intended as a final accounting of all charges incurred on your account.
