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:
- The refund of a credit balance is not intended as a final accounting of all charges incurred on your account. Please note that authorization needs to be given for excess financial aid funds to be applied to ALL charges on student account including any prior year charges up to $200. The Federal Student Aid Authorization form can be found on Colleague Self-Service.
- Credit balances generated from the Parent Plus loan will be refunded to the parent unless otherwise noted on loan application.
