Expecting a refund? If your financial aid is more than the total of your charges, a refund will be generated by the Bursar's Office on Tuesday, September 5th. If you have direct deposit, you can expect to see that refund in your bank account on September 6th. Did you know you can calculate your estimated refund through PioneerWeb? Click on the "Student Account by Term" link on the Student tab, then subtract your total "Term Credits and Payments" from "Term Charges." If the result is a negative number, you'll receive that amount in a refund.

Then, use the Federal Student Aid Repayment Estimator to estimate your future monthly federal student loan payments under each repayment plan. By monitoring your borrowing while you're still in school, you can be sure there won't be any surprises at graduation. If you realize you don't need all of the loan funds you've accepted and would like to reduce the amount you'll borrow this year, please contact us. Upcoming Important Dates
