Refunds will be processed approximately 10 days after the add/drop period at the beginning of each semester. Throughout the year, direct deposits will occur daily.

I'm on the End of Term payment plan, why was I assessed a finance charge?

Why wasn't I billed for a class?
If you are currently waitlisted for a class you will not be billed until you are actually enrolled in that class. If you register for a class after our billing cycle, you will be charged on the next month's billing statement.
