Financial Aid Refunds
When students receive more financial aid than their University charges, the extra funds are paid to the student (or parent for PLUS loan) as a refund. Financial aid, including loans, will be used first to pay student account charges. A refund will be issued only if there is a credit after charges are paid.
Students should be financially prepared to meet any non-University expenses at the start of the term.
Refund Facts
- Refunds may not be available until the start of classes. Are not available until after the drop/add date for each term
- Students may receive several smaller refunds, rather than a single large refund.
- Refunds will depend on the status of the student's financial aid.
- Students are responsible for paying any additional charges incurred after receiving their refund.
Refund Tips
- Be sure there are no holds on your Student Account and your financial aid application is complete.
