Students who are planning to take summer classes and have credit should familiarize themselves with summer sessions and requirements for aid posting. Fall and Spring semesters are pretty straightforward; classes begin, add/drop date occurs, aid posts and refunds begin processing. Summer is a little different because there are three smaller sessions held in May, June, and July. Therefore there are potentially three add/drop dates, and three aid disbursements. When loans and aid posts is determined by when you are enrolled and when you meet the minimum enrollment required for aid to disburse. If you don't know when your tuition and aid will post and therefore when you can expect to have a refund processed, you should contact your financial aid advisor. Monitor your account in TouchNet to know exactly when your aid posts and when your refund is ready.

If you have an eligible credit on your account (you will no longer see the words "Estimated Financial Aid") and would like a refund, here's what you need to do:

1. Submit a refund request form. 
2. Fill out all 3 steps (5 for checks) and sign the form. Do not leave anything blank.
3. If you are requesting direct deposit (eRefunds), make sure you have a refund profile set up in TouchNet.
4. Direct deposit refunds will get an email from TouchNet informing them that their refund has been processed.
5. For those requesting a check, monitor your account to see when refund posts. Those marked mail will be sent out next business day.
