Student Refunds

Refunds are issued when a student's financial aid exceeds the charges on their student account. Refund disbursement dates vary depending on the student's program, but are processed after the 100% drop date of the respective semester and/or term. Refer to the Academic Calendar for specific dates.

Students may have refunds issued directly to their personal bank account by setting up direct deposit through the Banner 9 My Profile App found on the Cardinal Apps portal. If direct deposit information is not set up by the time a student's refund is processed, a check will be mailed to the permanent address on file.
