Information on refund, fee payment, and specific refund dates for the Aid Year.

QUARTERLY SCHEDULE BILLS
The SCHEDULE BILL is the document that shows your schedule and the charges and anticipated Financial Aid payments each quarter. The Schedule Bill is mailed to all students who register during the main registration period each quarter (it is not mailed to students who register during late registration). To confirm your registration, the bottom portion of the schedule bill marked SFA, along with payment for any balances not covered by your financial aid, MUST BE RECEIVED IN THE ACCOUNTING OFFICE by the due date. If you do not return the bill, your registration will not be complete and classes will not be held for you.

REFUNDS
You will receive a financial aid refund if your Financial Aid Disbursement amount is greater than the amount you owe for fees or other applicable charges.

If you register during the registration period each quarter in the correct number of units indicated on your financial aid award letter, you should receive your financial aid refund before classes begin. The Financial Aid Accounting Office will process refunds each quarter according to the following schedule:

After the first disbursement of each quarter, refunds will be produced daily through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) throughout the term. Direct Deposit refunds will be credited to your bank account within three business days from the time the credit is posted to your account. Students who are not setup for EFT will receive refund checks. However, refund checks will only be processed every two weeks. If you drop units AFTER your financial aid has been disbursed, it is very important to notify your financial aid counselor. Under certain circumstances, students who drop units after payment may be required to repay some or all, of the aid they have received.

PLEASE NOTE: REFUNDS CANNOT BE PRODUCED UNTIL YOUR FINANCIAL AID HAS BEEN CREDITED TO YOUR ACCOUNT. Your account will not be credited until your Financial Aid application is complete and you are registered in the required number of units for your enrollment status for that quarter (Refer to Disbursement Information).

The Office of Student Financial Services processes all Financial Aid refunds to students who have elected to have their refund electronically transferred to their bank (EFT). Those who cannot accommodate EFT will need to contact Student Financial Services for more information. This includes not only the initial refund at the beginning of each quarter, but any additional refunds which may be generated due to revisions of your financial aid award.

All correspondence regarding student refunds will be mailed to the Mailing Address maintained by the CSUB Office of Admission and Records. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE RECORDS OFFICE HAS A CURRENT, CORRECT MAILING ADDRESS. The campus ‘stop payment' policy may result in a delay of up to 30 days to replace a check that does not reach you.
