Requesting a Student Account Refund

A student’s account may have a credit balance as a result of an overpayment or a financial-aid disbursement.

Refunds due to students for over payment will be issued upon request, after a minimum of 30 days following the date a check has been deposited to a student’s account or a financial-aid disbursement has taken place.

A student can receive a refund by requesting a check or an Electronic Refund. A student is required to provide the University with their banking information by setting up their profile in the Student Account Center.

Graduate Students are entitled to a refund of Title IV overpayments within 14 days of those Title IV payments being credited to their accounts.

A Parent PLUS (Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students) Loan overpayment can also be refunded to the parent within 14 days that the parent PLUS loan was disbursed. The University is not allowed to refund a student for excess parent loan funds unless we have written permission from the parent to refund the student. If a parent would like to grant permission for a refund to be issued to the student, they can e-mail refunds@bryant.edu to make this request.

In order for a student to receive a refund, a refund request form must be completed. A student has the option to visit the Bursar’s Office and complete a form in person or a student can file one electronically by logging into Banner, selecting Student Services and Financial Aid and then Refund Request.
