Refunds

If you receive financial aid in excess of your university charges, the balance will be refunded to you to use toward other education-related expenses, i.e., off-campus room and board, transportation, personal/miscellaneous costs, etc. Early Financial Aid payments are scheduled to be credited to the student's CMU account one week before the start date of classes. Students applying for financial aid after the priority deadline of March 1 should be prepared to pay for Fall education and living expenses until their aid is processed and their refund is available.
