Refund Options

As described above, tuition refunds are first evaluated by Financial Aid for aid repayments. All refunds are then applied to any outstanding balance on a student's account by Student Accounts. Refunds for rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors will be held in the student's account for payment against future semesters unless the student provides a written request to have the funds remitted. Refunds held in graduating senior accounts will be automatically remitted to the student. Refunds will only be approved after the student has completed the withdrawal procedures with the Dean of Advising and has vacated student housing (as confirmed by Residence Life). Approved refunds will be remitted either:

a. electronically to banking information on file with the Controller's Office or

b. by printed check payable to the student unless

• the student has authorized, in writing, payment to a third party
• the check payment on the account was received from an unrelated third party such as a sponsoring organization.

Printed checks are mailed to the student's home address listed in the Banner student system. Mailing to a different address requires written authorization from the student.
