Refund Policy

Refund checks or direct deposits will be produced every Monday and Thursday. Cutoff times for processing refunds are the close of business Wednesday for availability on Thursday and the close of business Friday for availability on Monday. The exceptions to the refund schedule are the following:

Banking or School Holidays: Refunds will be processed the next business day.

Philadelphia Campus is Closed: Refunds will be processed on the next business day that the campus reopens.

First Disbursement Date of Each Term: Refunds will be proceesed once accounting verifies that the loans have been funded by the lending institution.

 

It is strongly recommended that students sign up for direct deposit for their refunds. This process is a safer and a more convenient way for students to receive funds. Direct deposit of student refunds is available by completing an authorization form. The initial setup for direct deposit will take approximately two weeks. The funds will be electronically posted to your bank account within two days after the above mentioned cutoff days. For example, if your refund is processed for availability on Monday, then the funds will be posted to your bank account on Tuesday or Wednesday.

If you have not set up direct deposit with the Bursar's Office you will receive your refund in the mail. If you have any concerns regarding your mailing address. please call the Bursar's Office.
