Refunds

For students with a credit (negative) balance, our office will:

  • Review the account
  • Pay any qualified outstanding balance from the current academic year.
  • Generate a refund

Note: Balance owed in a different academic year cannot use federal aid to pay those balances.

UD partners with BankMobile to offer refund payments via direct deposit.  New students receive an email inviting them to register with BankMobile.  They can then link an existing bank account or open a new bank account.  Students linking a bank account will receive refunds by direct deposit. 

If a student's refund is paid by paper check, an email will be sent to the student’s UD email when the check is ready.  These checks will be held for pick-up at the Cashier’s window in Cardinal Farrell Hall unless the student responds asking the check be mailed and indicating their mailing address.  

For the beginning of all Semester Refunds are not processed until two weeks after the ADD/DROP date.
