Refund Policy

Student accounts are reviewed weekly by the Business Office, starting the second week of each semester. Students may expect to receive a refund if the amount of financial aid awarded exceeds the costs billed by the school. Refund checks are issued on Tuesdays and Thursdays (beginning the second week of classes) after 3:30 p.m. The checks are held for pick-up for five days before being mailed to the student’s permanent address.

A student may request for their refund check to be mailed on the day it is generated. Students must e-mail the Business Office to request that their refund check be mailed. Checks will not be mailed to on-campus addresses.

Students can close out their bookstore charge accounts to get a refund of any unused credit. This credit is first applied to any outstanding balance owed to the University, including pledged College Work Study wages.  Bookstore accounts are closed automatically at the end of each semester. The same credit policy applies is a student's bookstore is automatically closed.

*When a student’s balance is being paid by a third party (military, Texas Tomorrow Fund, employers, etc.), students will not receive their portion until the third party pays in full.
