You are not eligible to receive a credit because your Spring 2020 fee bill was covered/funded 100% by institutional aid.

The Board of Trustees has approved the proration of housing and dining charges due to the emergency closure, effective March 23, 2020. Based on the closure date, 45% of the semester was spent remotely, as such UConn has prorated 45% of the total cost of the housing and dining charges to student accounts.

Nothing. For students who request the refund and applied it to the Fall 2020, will not impact their financial aid eligibility. The credit will be re-deposited and applied to the fee bill. (Example: eligible credit of $1,000 will be re-deposited as a payment of $1,000 on fall 2020 fee bill).

Yes, please complete the appropriate form the Office of the Bursar provided in their email communication to you.

No, the credit may only be applied to Fall 2020 at this time.

To request a refund, please complete the appropriate form provided in the email communication sent to you by the Office of the Bursar.

Refunds will be processed via Direct Deposit. Students should sign up for direct deposit to ensure they receive any refunds quickly and securely. Instructions are available here. Students who do not sign up for direct deposit will receive a paper refund check. This process can take two weeks, plus mailing time.

Eligible students will be contacted via email by the Office of the Bursar and provided options for their credits. They will also note on their website when each of the credits have been completed. Students who receive institutional funds for their Education Abroad fees, or room and board will not be eligible for a refund of this credit.

The Office of the Bursar began issuing Education Abroad credits on April 13, 2020, and communicated to all impacted students shortly after this date.

Prorated Housing and Dining credits will begin posting to students accounts on April 30, 2020. The Office of the Bursar will be sending email communication to students on options for their credits. Please be patient as their department works through all the student accounts affected.

Prorated parking permit refunds will be credited back to the original source of payment, (i.e. credit/debit cards). All others will be issued as a refund from Parking Services. This process began on April 24, 2020 with anticipated completion by early May.

Student loans will not be impacted. Students will not have a reduction in their loans for the Spring 2020 semester. This includes Federal Student loans, Federal Parent PLUS loans, and Private/Alternative loans.

Students do have the option to use their refund to make payments on current loan balances with their Federal Loan Servicer. Please visit https://studentaid.gov/ for more information pertaining to loans.

Federal Pell Grants will not be affected or reduced as a result of the housing/dining plan credits.

No, you will not have a balance. The reduction in institutional aid will be reduced by the exact amount of the housing and/or dining plan credit, resulting in an even swap.

If a student has a current balance due, the credit will be applied to that balance first. After the balance is paid, you may request a refund or re-deposit for the fall term by completing the appropriate form in the communication the Office of the Bursar sent to you.
