Student Account Refunds

If your financial aid awards and/or tuition payments exceed your institutional charges - tuition, fees, housing, etc. - you may expect a refund for the overpayment from Student Financial Services. After a credit balance is created on a tuition account, refunds are usually processed within 3-5 business days. However, there may be delays in processing during peak times due to volume and for refund amounts greater than $10,000 due to additional processing. Refund checks made payable to the student and are mailed to the "Mailing Address" as indicated in the students OASIS account within 3-5 business days. To avoid delays in the receipt of your check, please be sure to access your OASIS account and verify your current mailing address.
