Direct Deposit

Set Up Your Refund Preference

Electronic direct deposit is the preferred way to receive an eligible credit balance on your student account. Use the student system to review the available refund preference options and provide current banking information when that option is available to you.

Use your own account

Enter banking details only for an account you are authorized to use. Review the information carefully before saving it.

Keep details current

Update your refund preference promptly if your bank account changes. Incorrect or incomplete details can delay delivery.

Refund Timing

How Refunds Are Released

Aid Creates a Credit

A refund may be available after eligible financial aid is applied to your student account and all applicable charges are covered.

Schedule Changes

Dropping or withdrawing from classes can change charges, aid eligibility, and any credit balance. Account adjustments are reviewed before a refund is issued.

Processing and Delivery

Refunds are processed after account activity is finalized. Delivery timing depends on the selected method and financial institution processing.
