Refunds

Refunds will be disbursed through BankMobile Disbursements, a technology solution, powered by BMTX, Inc. according to your selected refund preference. Refunds for students who receive financial aid must be reviewed by the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid to determine if the refund must be returned to a financial aid program. 

Find ATMs serviced by Allpoint (ATM availability varies by location).

Complete Withdrawal Refunds

The refund percentage for complete withdrawal is based upon a 100% payment of tuition and fees at registration. Any refund will be reduced by any balance (financial obligation) that remains on the student account. Financial aid may be applied towards balances within the same aid year before a refund is issued. Cash, credit card, check, or money order payments may be applied to other balances on the student’s account before any refund is issued.

See Academic Calendars for withdrawal and refund dates.

Partial Withdrawal Refunds
If a student officially drops some but not all courses by the Official Day of Record as listed in the Academic Calendar, an 100% reduction in tuition and mandatory fee charges will be issued for the dropped courses. After the Official Day of Record for the session, there will be no reduction in charges for partial withdrawals. Students must meet all financial obligations prior to receiving a refund.

Please note that not all charges assessed by the University are refundable.

Where will my refund go?

Did I make any out of pocket payment using a credit card?

YES

1. Refund issued back on the credit card
2. Up to the original amount paid
3. Difference issued to your selected refund preference with BankMobile Disbursements

NO

 

Example: Tiffany's balance for the term is $2000. She makes her first installment payment of $500 using a credit card on August 15th. On August 19th, Tiffany's financial aid is disbursed towards her account for $5000. Student Business Services applies the financial aid towards the $2000 balance and now shows a refund of $3000. Since Tiffany paid $500 with her credit card, $500 will be refunded back to the credit card she used and $2500 will be refunded to her BankMobile Disbursements refund preference.

If you made an out of pocket payment using cash or check, your entire refund will issued to your selected refund preference with BankMobile Disbursements.
