The Office of Student Accounts will refund credit balances on your account as a result of an adjustment or overpayment of your account. A credit balance may be the result of overpayment by you or financial aid that you receive.
Refunds are made payable to the student regardless of who made the payment. The only refund made payable to someone other than the student is a refund from the Parent PLUS Loan. Parent PLUS Loan refunds are made payable to the recipient indicated on the Parent PLUS Loan application.
Students are notified via email when a refund is processed. Direct deposit refunds are processed daily. Refund checks are printed once a week. Refund checks are mailed on the same day they are printed. Refund checks are mailed via USPS to the student's permanent address on file. We highly recommend enrolling in direct deposit to receive your refund faster.
