Student Refunds

The purpose of student refunds is to reimburse students for monies paid in excess of tuition and fees. Students can receive refunds in one of the following ways: by direct deposit or by a paper check mailed to the mailing address on file. A student is entitled to a refund when the account is overpaid and a credit balance is created. A credit balance can be created from Pell Grants, Direct loans, plus loans, alternative loans, grants, scholarships, or cash payments. All refunds are considered general refunds and they are processed weekly throughout the semester.

Parent Plus Refunds

Refunds for Official Withdrawals

Below is the refund schedule for Fall/Spring ONLY.

Students who are awarded Federal Financial Aid and choose to withdraw will also be subject to the Return of Title IV Funds Policy. This may result in an unpaid balance due to the university.
