Financial Aid Disbursement, Bursar Refunds, Dropping Classes, Withdrawal for Semester
When will I receive my refund from the Office of the Bursar?
If your student financial aid exceeds your university charges for the semester, the Office of the Bursar will send a refund to the student or parent, in the case where the refund is created by a PLUS loan borrowed by the parent. The funds are sent to the student by direct deposit if authorized by the student via OneStart or by check through the U.S. Postal Service. To receive any type of refund, it is important for you to maintain current address information via OneStart. Parent PLUS loan refunds checks are mailed directly to the parent. Refund payments are sent within fourteen days after:
- the first day of class for the semester if the positive credit balance occurred on or before the first day of class for the semester, or
- the date the positive credit balance occurred on the student’s account, if the balance occurred after the first day of classes for the semester.
You may allow the university to pay charges beyond tuition, fees, and on-campus room and board or minor prior year charges by signing a Title IV Authorization Form . The student may cancel or modify the authorization at any time through formal notification.
