Are you entitled to a refund?
- You could be owed a refund after your student loan or aid is applied to your student account.
- You may also receive a cancellation of tuition charges after dropping a class or withdrawing from a semester. The amount of your cancellation of charges depends on how far into a semester you’ve dropped a class. Click here to view the deadlines for dropping or withdrawing from classes.
- Overpaying or cancelling a charge could also result in a refund, for example, if you changed your meal plan or waived your student health plan.
If any of the above applies, we will automatically issue a refund by direct deposit or check.
Where’s My Refund?
The University of Tulsa strongly encourages your enrollment in direct deposit for all refund checks that you receive from TU. The advantage of having direct deposit is that the funds will be deposited into your account one day earlier than you can pick up a paper check from the Bursar’s Office. To set this up, simply follow these simple instructions:
-
-
-
- Login to your TU Portal.
- Click the “WebAdvisor for Students” tab
- Once on that tab, click “Student Financial Information” and then “Direct Deposit Info (non-payroll, US Banks).”
- Enter all the required information and read all the terms and conditions.
- Check the box at the bottom of the screen that states “I agree” and select “Submit.”
The loan funds will disburse to TU during the first week of classes, as long as you have completed all requirements necessary for them to do so. The Bursar’s Office will then take out all charges and issue the excess in a refund to you. We will issue this refund to you within 14 days from the date the loan credits to your student account.
What if I don’t setup Direct Deposit?
Refunds will be issued as paper checks for all students not enrolled in Direct Deposit. Paper checks are available for pickup at the Bursar’s Office Teller Window the day following the issuance of direct deposit refunds.
