Refunds

Financial Aid Refunds

All refunds are processed following the financial aid disbursement for each semester, which typically occurs prior to the first day of classes. Emory encourages all students to enroll in direct deposit in OPUS under the Student Account tile to receive your refund. If you are not enrolled in direct deposit, your refund will be mailed via paper check to your permanent address on file. Emory cannot mail checks to on-campus housing or international addresses.

Direct deposit is only available using US checking or savings accounts. If you are an international student and do not have a US bank account or a US mailing address off-campus, please visit the International Students page to review your refund options.

Only credits of $1 or more will be refunded.

Credit Card Refunds

Credit card payments will be refunded to the original payment card, up to the amount originally paid by that card. Refunds will not be issued by check, ACH, or other means in lieu of returning funds to the original card, except where permitted by card network rules or when the original refund cannot be completed.
