Refunds are issued when the total amount of Financial Aid exceeds the charges on a student's account. When this happens, Student Accounts will issue a refund of the credit balance to the student. In cases where the credit is generated by a parent PLUS loan, the refund be issued to the borrower)
In most cases, credit balances are derived from a combination of NY state grants such as TAP and the SUNY Tuition Credit, and Federal Title IV aid. Title IV funds include:
- Pell
- SEOG
- Direct Subsidized loan
- Direct Unsubsidized loan
- PLUS loan.
When the combination of all these awards exceeds the invoice amount, a refund is generated and issued to the student within 14 days.
