Student loans:
A refund check will be processed as loan money is received and a credit balance exists. The earliest date that a refund check is available is the first day of the semester. Checks are held in the Business Office until after the drop/add period at which time the checks will be mailed to the permanent address.

Parent Plus loans:
Refunds will be processed after the drop/add period. The check will be issued in the name of the parent and mailed to the permanent address. Parents may submit written authorization to release the credit to the student and the check will be issued in the student's name.

HES:
Payments from the payment plan are credited to a student account as an estimated payment until the 5th monthly payment is received by the college. At that time accounts will be reviewed for over-payments and any credit balance will be refunded to the student.

Overpayments & Miscellaneous credits:
Refund checks will be issued for all credits over $5.00. Checks will be mailed to the permanent legal address on file in the Records Office.
