Please note: We only have your banking information if you have held an award with us. We do not have your banking information if you were paid through payroll for Teaching Assistantships or Research Assistantships. (For privacy reasons, we do not receive banking information from payroll.)
Tuition waivers: If you have a tuition waiver and an award, your award will be processed first which will pay off your tuition. Tuition waivers are generally processed in the fifth week of class, after which you will need to complete and submit a Refund Request from a Student Account Form to Student Accounts in Student Services.
