How Refunds are Issued:
If funds from financial aid exceed the total charges, Student Accounting will generate a "refund." Refunds are generally available within 3-5 days of the start of each quarter. Direct deposit is recommended. In the event a paper check is issued, it will be held in Davis at Student Accounting for 10 days, and then mailed to the address on the student's campus SISWeb account, please make sure your address is up to date.
If financial aid funds are less than the total charges, the student will need to pay the remaining amount by the tuition/fee payment deadline mentioned under title Fee Payment Deadline. See PAYMENT METHODS.
- NOTE: The tuition, fees, and charges posted on your e-bill are estimates based on currently approved amounts. These figures may not be final. Actual tuition, fees, and charges are subject to change by the Regents of the University of California and could be affected by State funding reductions. Accordingly, final approved levels (and thus a student's final balance due) may differ from the amounts shown.
- Some or all instruction for all or part of the Academic Year may be delivered remotely. Tuition and fees have been set regardless of the method of instruction and will not be refunded in the event instruction occurs remotely for any part of the Academic Year. Figures for tuition and fees represent currently approved or proposed amounts and may not be final. Actual tuition and fees are subject to change by the University of California as determined to be necessary or appropriate. Final approved tuition and fee levels may differ from the amounts presented.
- Campus-Based fees are estimates subject to UCOP and/or campus processes and actions during Spring 2022.
