The type of credit on a students' account will determine the method of initiating the refund and the length of time for a student to receive their refund.

If a student has a Title IV (federal financial aid) credit on their account then a refund will be processed automatically within 14 days of the funds posting to a student’s account.

If the credit on a students' account is not a Title IV credit, then the student can request a refund by completing the Refund Request Form found under the Refunds tab in ePay.

Credit Card Refunds

If a refund is due and the original payment was made by credit card, the University of New Haven will credit back the card that was used for the original transaction. A refund check will not be issued.
