As a result of COVID-19, the following adjustments were made to student accounts for the spring 2020 semester. These adjustments reflect credits of eligible Course Fees (e.g., lab fees), housing, dining, Comprehensive Fee and Student Activity Fees.
Student Accounts has worked with fee stewards across the university to determine credits due to students for the spring 2020 semester as a result of COVID-19.
Students have received prorated credits for certain fees where services have been discontinued or curtailed due to the COVID-19 emergency. A calculated credit amount has been determined for each of these fees.
After credits are applied to the student’s account, a refund will be granted where applicable.
Students anticipating a refund are encouraged to enroll in direct deposit. Funds should be available in student bank accounts within 2 business days from the time the direct deposit refund is initiated, depending on your financial institution. Direct deposit refunds will be processed the week of May 4, 2020.
For students without a direct deposit profile, refunds will be mailed by check to the student’s permanent address the week of May 11, 2020.

As of March 23, 2020, the university moved to a distance-learning model of instruction through the remainder of the Spring semester. Due to this change, some of the fees that have been assessed may be fully or partially refunded if there are course and lab materials no longer being utilized, or services no longer being offered. In instances where original fee cost components have been replaced with various other cost components to accommodate the change in service delivery, or a lab requirement may be satisfied at a future date (incomplete grade), a credit will not be applied.
