Establish Your Refund Method
In accordance with U.S. Department of Education regulations on federal financial aid, the Bursar’s Office treats each academic year individually. This means that financial aid received for an academic year must be used to credit only that year, with any excess sent out as a refund. It is important to note that if your account has a balance from prior term charges; it is your responsibility to cover this balance with your refund or another funding source prior to registering for the following term. In addition, if you drop classes from your schedule or withdraw from the university, you may have to repay some or all of your refund.
Effective March 1, 2019, the University of Louisville joined a partnership with Nelnet Financial Solutions to provide an easy and convenient method for all students to receive any refunds they may be eligible for. The choice is yours on how you choose to receive your refund!
