Refunds

In order to receive a refund from your student account, you may submit a written refund request to our office. This can be done by either visiting the Financial Service Center in Room 1135 of the Lee Building and completing a refund request form, by logging onto Student Account Inquiry and completing an online refund request, or by sending a letter or fax requesting a refund. The fax number is (301) 405-0659.

Upon verification by the Refund Unit, refunds are processed in the same manner in which you originally paid. Refund checks are made payable to the student and are mailed from the Bursar's Office. Credit balances attributable to payment made by personal check are subject to a 30-day hold to insure that the check clears the bank before a refund check will be issued. All refund checks are mailed to the permanent address of record.

Students with a credit balance of $250.00 or less are eligible to receive a cash refund, subject to the availability of funds. Please visit our office in-person to obtain a cash refund voucher, and be sure to bring a photo ID with you.

Credit balances attributable to payments made originally by credit card must be refunded back to the card originally charged. Credit card refunds are processed electronically and take about a week after the credit appears on your student account. To assist us in processing your refund request as soon as possible, be sure to include your credit card number and expiration date on your refund request. If you mail your request to our office, a receipt verifying that the refund was processed will be sent to you.
