Parent Loan Refunds
Parent Loans are disbursed to the student’s billing account. When there is a combination of student financial aid and a Parent Loan, the Parent Loan is applied to the student’s charges first.
When there is a credit balance after all charges have been paid, a refund is issued.
- If the parent selected the student to receive the refund, the credit balance will be refunded to the student.
- If the parent selected to receive the refund, the credit balance will be refunded to the student up to the amount of the student’s financial aid. Any remaining credit balance will be refunded to the parent. Parent Loan refunds are mailed approximately the third week of the term.
Tuition Refunds
The tuition refunds are based on the refund schedule on the Registrar's website. Credits from dropped classes are posted to the student account and apply to any unpaid charges on the account. If the account has a credit balance, the university policy is to hold refunds until after the last day to add classes for the term.
Tuition and Fee Penalties are assessed when the student reduces his/her credit hours after the 7th calendar day of the term. The penalty is a percentage of the tuition and/or fees owed on the classes for which the student was registered. Please view the Refund Schedule for dates and percentages of penalties. This schedule is available under “Calendars” on the Registrar's website.
More information is available on the Registrar's website.
