Refund to Students with Credit Balance

For the Spring 2008 semester, the first batch of excess credit checks will be released for students with direct deposits. All other excess credit refunds will be made by February 1, 2008.

FOR FINANCIAL AID RECEPIENTS: Aid must be listed on the Student Account Summary as dispursed "Financial Aid" not "Anticipated Aid" for the refund to be issued. Anticipated aid questions should be directed to the Financial Aid Office.

Thanks.

Credit balances result from payments, financial aid received, and other credit entries that exceed the total of charges to a student's account. Refunds are issued to students for the amount of the excess credit balance. At the start of the semester, the initial refunds for credit balances are processed within 14 days after funds have been posted to your Student Account Summary .

Students are informed via UNO email regarding their refunds. Students are encouraged to enroll in our Direct Deposit program. Enrolling in this program will prevent your refund from being delayed, so you will need to complete the Direct Deposit Authorization Form. Please submit this form with a voided check from your bank account via:

Fax to 504-280-5430

Mail to: UNO Bursar, Lakefront, New Orleans, LA 70148

In person to UNO Bursar-Located in Administration Bldg. Rm 1006

The excess credit refunds are done every Tuesday and Thursday. The students can check the refund status over Webstar. For financial aid recipients, a Bookstore voucher will be made for textbook costs. See Bookstore Vouchers.

Please allow 21 days for a refund to be processed once your financial aid has been credited to your account on Peoplesoft.
