You may have a refundable credit balance on your student account, which could be the result of any of the following actions:
- Financial aid / loan payments
- Over-payments
- Account adjustments such as a registration drop, meal plan reduction, etc.
Refunds due to financial aid and/or loan payments are issued after the initial disbursement of financial aid, which generally begins the Thursday prior to the start of each semester. Refunds are processed continually during the semester as financial aid and loans are posted to the student account.
If the credit balance is created because of an overpayment made by check or electronic check, the refund will not be processed for at least ten (10) business days to allow time for the check payment to clear the bank.
If the credit balance results from a credit card payment made within the last 90 days, the credit card will be refunded up to the amount of the payment first. Any remaining credit card balance will be refunded through direct deposit or paper check.
If the credit balance is the result of a Flywire payment where only Flywire payments were made by the student, the refund will be issued via Flywire to be remitted back to the original payment method (as long as that option remains available in Flywire).
