PURPOSE:

The purpose of student refunds is to reimburse students for monies paid in excess of tuition and fees.

POLICY:

A student is entitled to a refund when the account is overpaid and a credit balance is created. There are three (3) types of refunds: general refunds, Pell/direct loan refunds, and plus loan refunds. If the credit balance is created by a cash, grant, or scholarship payment, the refund is considered a general refund. If the credit balance is created by a Pell grant or student loan, the refund is designated a Pell/direct loan refund. If the credit balance is created by a parent plus loan, the refund is designated a plus loan refund.

Refunds checks are normally generated within one (1) week of the date that the credit balance is created. Also, refund checks are generated in the student's name.

The refund checks are put in order by student's last name and distributed to the students. If the refund checks are not picked up in thirty (30) days, they are mailed to the students at their permanent address.
