Refund Process
All student refunds are processed centrally by the university's treasury management office. Refunds will be made available to students on the Friday following their disbursement date. That means you will see your eligible refund in CUNYfirst several days before it will actually be deposited to your bank account if you have signed up for direct deposit or mailed as a paper check if you do not sign up for direct deposit.
The Office of Financial Aid strongly recommends that you sign up for direct deposit as it is more secure and efficient. For instructions on how to sign up, review the Enhanced CUNYfirst Self-Service Guide. Financial aid payment information and dates are made available on your CUNYfirst account under the finance tab.
Questions related to the refund process should be directed to the Bursar's Office of Student Accounts.
