Housing/Meal Plan Refund Policies

Farnham Residence HallThe following is Southern Connecticut State University's refund policies for residence life and meal plan fees. It is the student's responsibility to complete the housing withdrawal form and to submit it to the Office of Residence Life for processing. The amount of the refund (if any) is based on the date the student officially withdraws from housing and/or whether or not the student officially withdraws from the university also.

Once its determined that a student is eligible for a refund, it may take up to 14 days to have a refund issued. Students who would like to receive their refund quicker, safer, and more convenient, can setup a OneAccount that is linked to their Owl Choice Card Debit MasterCard.

Students must active their refund preference, otherwise their refund may be significantly delayed. Click here to learn more about activating your refund preference.

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.
