All student payments, whether it be payroll or refunds, are disbursed through the Student Disbursement Center. Reasons for a refund may include:  Overpayment on loans or grants aer all university charges have been paid  Dropping a class (before August 25th)  Resigning from the University before September 8, 2017  Payment for an on-campus job It is important to note that refunds will only be made through the original method of payment and . Direct Deposit is the suggested method of refund, as it is the fastest and safest way to collect funds. Refunds by check are also possible, however it will take roughly 3-5 business days longer to receive. If a check is lost in the mail, the student will have to wait 30 days before a replacement check can be issued.
