Refunds
Refund Check on Credit Balance
A student with a credit balance on her/his student account may request a refund check by contacting the Office of Student Financial Services. No refund check will be issued until all student aid awards are adjusted and/or until such aid is actually received by the University.
For students in our non-traditional and graduate programs, refund checks on credit balances will be given to the student within 14 days of the first day of class.
