REFUND POLICY

Most credits, including financial aid refunds, are refunded automatically within several weeks of being posted to your account. If you have a specific inquiry about a refund, please contact Bursar Office representative Ms. Edna Hinton at (203)392-6836 or via email at hintone1@southernct.edu.

Depending on how and when the Bursar's Office is notified, it may take 2-3 weeks for a refund to be processed and received.

The Bursar's Office must first receive notification that a student is eligible for a refund; this can happen in any of the following ways:

  • The Registrar's Office notifies the Bursar when a student withdraws or has  a status change (Full-Time to Part-Time or vice versa);
  • The Student will alert the Bursar's Office that they have a credit on their account and wish to receive a refunds;
  • The Bursar's Office runs a report that shows students whose accounts have a negative balance (credit).

Once its determined that the student is eligible for a refund, it may take 2-3 weeks to have a refund check printed and mailed. If you made a credit card payment OVER THE WEB, your refund will be credited back to the credit card used when making the payment.  If you wish to have your refund deposited directly into your checking or savings account electronically, CLICK HERE and complete your account profile. To learn more about e-Refunds visit the eBill information website.

NOTE: ALL REFUNDS IN THE FORM OF A CHECK ARE MAILED TO THE STUDENT'S PERMANENT MAILING ADDRESS ON FILE WITH THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE.

If you wish to change your address, please complete a Change of Student Info form with the Registrar's Office.
