If your financial aid, scholarships or other payments exceed the amount on your eBill, you will have a credit balance on your account. Excess financial aid refunds are typically available 6 business days after your financial aid file becomes complete. The first day to obtain excess financial aid for the Fall 2007 term is August 14, 2007. Questions about financial aid that has not applied to your university account should be directed to the Office of Student Financial Aid.
The fastest way to get your refund is to elect to have your excess funds directly deposited into your checking or savings account. To select this option, fill out the following form. Your name must match the name(s) on the destination account.

Click to hideThe Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the confidential financial and non-directory information on a student account. The Office of Student Financial Aid requires that a student complete an authorization to release information form (1 page PDF) before releasing protected information to anyone other than the student. If authorized, parents/guardians may receive student information over the phone or in person. This authorization does not allow a parent/guardian to set up online IDs, accept/decline financial aid, or view the student's financial aid information in Enroll & Pay. Online IDs are provided to students only and should not be shared with others. This form is also available on our Forms and Information Sheets page, and paper copies are available from the Bursar's Office.
