Safe: Direct deposit helps protect your money from mail delays or lost checks.
Easy: Your refund is sent straight to your bank account, and you'll receive an email when it's been deposited.
Secure and Private: Your bank information is kept confidential and is used only to deposit your refund or fix an erroneous deposit.

How to Sign Up for Direct Deposit

Types of Refunds

Financial Aid Refunds

Federal regulations require the University to automatically issue refunds to students whose total federal financial aid exceeds allowable charges. Allowable charges include:

Tuition and fees
University housing
Dining plans

Even if you receive a refund, continue to check your eBill each month. Changes to your account or adjustments to financial aid may create a new balance.

Parent PLUS Loan Refunds

Parents receiving a refund from a Direct Parent PLUS Loan will receive a paper check by mail at the address listed on the parent's PLUS Loan application, unless the parent enrolls in Direct Deposit.

Payment Refunds

Refunds for payments made to the University are processed based on the original payment method:

Personal Check – Funds are held for 10 days before a refund can be issued.
