In the event a combination of grants, scholarships, and/or payments results in a credit balance on the student’s account, the Student Accounts Office will refund the credit balance to the student by means of a check or by direct deposit if the student has signed up via Web Advisor. All institutional scholarships must be applied toward tuition and fees. All federal, state, and institutional grants are credited to the student's account first, and any scholarships are applied to the balance of the student's aid eligibility for the semester. No cash refunds are made from institutional funds.
