Credit Balance Policy
Title IV Credit Balances
If a credit balance remains on a student account after billed tuition and fees are fully paid and the credit balance is the result of Title IV funds only, the refund is automatically generated on a regular basis to the student. Students are responsible for any changes that may occur after the refund is processed. Refunds are generated through the Student Choice Refunds System through Nelnet Business Solutions.
Other Credit Balances
If a credit balance remains on a student account after billed tuition and fees are fully paid, the resulting credit balance can be refunded to the student to apply to other cost of attendance expenses, or the funds can be transferred to the student's Royal Card. Students can request the refund in person, via telephone, or by emailing the Bursar's Office. Students are responsible for any changes that may occur after the refund is requested. Refunds are generated through the Student Choice Refunds System through Nelnet Business Solutions via check or direct deposit based on how the student has setup their account. If no refund is requested, the credit will be applied to the next semester's tuition and fee charges. Credit balances are automatically refunded when a student ceases enrollment.
