A student refund results in any unused funds for the student after all university charges have been paid and settled. The Bursar’s Office, as soon as funds are recorded on the student account, initiates and processes payment to the student and is usually issued the following day in the form an electronic fund transfer (EFT).

A student refund may result from the following:

• The student account shows a credit balance after all charges have been paid and settled;
• Cancellation or reversal of charges which have been funded earlier; OR
• Withdrawal, dismissal, or leave of absence

In an effort to maintain the balance in rising costs associated with campus growth and in accommodating the increased student demand for parking spaces, the new annual student parking permit fee has been established at $470.00. This fee increase also considers the study and information gathered by the University Parking Task Force on the actual costs incurred for parking by the University as well as with respect to the parking practices carried out by other higher education institutions.

Parking is non-refundable. Any Lost/Stolen/Damaged parking permits cannot be replaced. Permits would have to be re-purchased at full price.

It is a short term loan granted to a qualified student, meeting the emergency criteria. Applications are approved by the Bursar s Office. Repayment is required within three months or upon receipt of any financial aid funds, whichever occurs first. A delinquency could be subject to a ‘collection hold’ status. Please see the Emergency Loan Application form.

The Hope Scholarship and the Lifetime Learning credits are determined by the amount a taxpayer (student) paid for qualified tuition and related expenses and the amount of his/her modified adjusted gross income for the same taxable year. Please consult a qualified tax preparer, CPA, or IRS online for further interpretation and understanding.
