Refunds for Overpayment
If the total amount of financial aid a student receives in each semester from all grants and loans exceeds the student's unpaid charges, the student will receive a refund check.
Refunds for the semester are mailed on a Tuesday, or you can take advantage of our Direct Deposit option. The earliest dates refunds will be available for each semester are as follows:
| Semester | Date |
|---|---|
| Summer 2024 | July 16, 2024 |
| Fall 2024 | October 15, 2024 |
| Spring 2024 | March 4, 2025 |
| Summer 2025 | July 22, 2025 |
| Funds (loans, scholarships, grants) credited AFTER the above semester date, are typically refunded by the following Tuesday. | |
Refunds After Dropping Class
Students who drop a course before the first day the class begins for which she/he is enrolled will receive a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees. The student must submit the Schedule Change Form to the Records Office, located in Berks Hall, Room 107 or the student can withdraw from class in Self-Service.
Once the day of class begins, students who drop a course before 10 percent of the time has elapsed between the starting and ending date of the course will receive a 95 percent refund of tuition and fees.
Students who drop a course before 20 percent of the time has elapsed between the starting and ending date of the course will receive a 50 percent refund of tuition and fees.
There will be no refund for any course dropped after the 20 percent date has lapsed.
