When financial aid funds are disbursed, any outstanding balances owed to the university are paid first. If any excess funds remain after the balance has been paid, a refund will be generated. Refunds are typically generated within two to four weeks.
Financial Aid refunds are issued in October for the Fall semester and February for the Spring semester.
Students can request to have their refund directly deposited into their checking or savings account.
A paper check will be mailed to the student at their permanent address if direct deposit is not set up.
The Student Accounts Office is responsible for processing and collecting student account bills, issuing student refunds, and managing student loan repayments (for specific loan programs).
