Financial aid refunds are made when a student’s financial aid for the semester exceeds the student’s charges for the semester. Refunds are sent to students usually around mid-October for the fall semester and mid-to-late March for the spring semester.

At ĢƵ, refunds are generated by the Student Accounts/Bursar’s Office by check unless the student has set up direct deposit via . Direct deposit is the preferred method for students to receive their refunds in a timely and efficient manner.

Financial aid, with the exception of federal work study, is disbursed through the student’s account. A student may view their pending financial aid on their Statement of Account in Self-Service. Aid remains “pending” until it is disbursed.

Students may use some of their refund to purchase books via a Book Voucher issued by the Student Accounts/Bursar’s Office. Students with eligibility for a Book Voucher will be emailed by the Student Accounts/Bursar’s Office about 2 weeks prior to the beginning of each semester. Any questions about Book Vouchers should be directed to the Student Accounts/Bursar’s Office at bursar_info@worcester.edu.
