Refunds / Overpayments

To simplify the disbursement of your funds, we have direct deposit available!!! If you wish to participate in direct deposit, please go to

Review a Step by Step Guide.

Financial Aid refunds are disbursed within 14 calendar days from when the credit balance has been created or 14 calendar days from the start of the term, whichever is later. Other forms of refunds from adjustments or payments are to be requested.

Tuition deposit refunds are to be requested with Admissions for approval. Please know that any approved tuition deposits will be disbursed to the student via check in US dollars. These refunds will not be credited back to a credit card or returned to a bank account.

NOTE:

  • Receiving a refund check doesn't automatically mean that your account has been cleared and paid in full. Please note that authorization needs to be given for excess financial aid funds to be applied to ALL charges on student account including any prior year charges up to $200. The Federal Student Aid Authorization form can be found on  Under Financial Information-Financial Aid.  Check mark and submit to agree.  If you don’t agree, uncheck and submit.
  • Credit balances generated from the Parent Plus loans will be given to the parent as a check unless otherwise noted on loan application.

Uncashed Refund Policy

  • Federal financial aid regulations require any Title IV federal funds disbursed to a student or parent that are not received/cashed must be returned to the appropriated federal financial aid program no later than 240 days after the check was issued.

    If a check is returned for bad address, the University will attempt to contact the student for new mailing address to be updated to re-mail the check. Refund checks must be cashed within 120 days from their issue date. After this period, uncashed checks become stale dated. 

    If the refund was direct deposit and was rejected by their bank and funds sent back to the University, email attempts will be sent to the student to update the banking information.  If no response, the refund will be re-issued by paper check.

    The University must return uncashed Title IV funds no later than 240 days after the date of the first issued check. Once these funds are sent back to the government the student may not be able to get these funds returned to them. If the check is not sent back to the government, the uncashed checks resulting from sources other than Federal Title IV funds can be re-issued upon request until it is reported as abandoned property.

    The best way to avoid this scenario is for students to sign up for direct deposit with a valid bank account in their Student Portal.
