Financial Aid refunds are generated automatically once a financial aid
overpayment shows on the account. Students that receive Stafford/PLUS/Alternative
loans electronically have the option of having those funds deposited into
their checking/savings account (an ACH Agreement form must be submitted
prior to money being received). All other financial aid refunds will be
mailed to the student's local address within 14 days of funds being
received. All financial aid refunds are sent to the local address as
stated on the Registrar Office's system. If a local address is not
available the default address would be the permanent address. It is the
student's responsibility to keep a current address on file with the
university in order to receive mailings in a timely manner.
If an overpayment shows on a student’s account, and it isn't created by
financial aid, the student is required to request a refund in our office.
We will have the student complete a form in order to start the refund
process. If a request is not filed the overpayment would go toward the
next semester as a credit.
It is the university's policy to hold the enrolled student liable for charges incurred; therefore, refund checks will be issued in the name of the student.
REFUNDS DUE TO WITHDRAWALS
Students have up to the business day before school begins to cancel
registration and not be charged any fees. Beginning the first day of
school, a student will go through their academic advisors and withdraw
from school. After the semester begins, a student must adhere to the
school withdrawal or class withdrawal policies.
If a student withdraws with a "W" after the Census Date they will not be
eligible for a refund of tuition and fees. Please refer to the withdrawal
policy on this web page.
Exceptions to withdrawal procedures- Exceptions to the withdrawal procedures
may be granted upon recommendation of the Associate Vice President for
Student Affairs/Student Development in cases of documented medical or
other non-academic reasons.
