Refunds will be processed once the credits have been applied to students’ accounts. We encourage you to apply for Direct Deposit in QuikPay for a faster refund.

Wait for a new bill, pay, and get the refund. Or, self-calculate the deduction and pay that. Electronic statements will be sent as soon as the discounts are applied to students’ accounts. In the meantime you are welcome to make a payment of any amount. Late fees will not be charged.

The normal tuition and fees will be assessed immediately when students register. The discount will be applied later.
