Refunds

Refunds are processed after the Drop/Add deadline each semester, but only when:

• All accepted financial aid has been received and applied
• There is a true credit balance on your account
• Any loan-specific rules (e.g., Integrity Loan adjustments) have been applied

Refunds are applied in this order:

• Back to your credit card, up to the amount paid
• To the Parent PLUS Loan borrower, by check or direct deposit
• To the student, by direct deposit (if set up)

Note:

• Payments made by international wire transfer cannot be refunded.
• Integrity Loan borrowers do not receive refunds — any excess funds are applied to reduce the loan balance.

For Students

To receive your refund by direct deposit:

• Log in to vision.oru.edu
• Click Registration Quick Links → Payment and Billing Site
• Select the Electronic Refunds tab
• Click Set Up Account
• Enter your bank routing and account number (not your debit card number)
• Agree to the terms and click submit

You will see the following confirmation: “Your new ACH payment method has been saved.”

For Parents (Parent PLUS Loan Borrowers)

Step 1: Student Grants Access

• Log in to Vision
• Click Registration Quick Links → Payment and Billing Site
• Under “My Profile Setup,” select Authorized Users
• Enter the parent’s email address (This email must match the one used on the Parent PLUS Loan)

• Click I Agree, then Continue
• The parent will receive an email with a temporary password and setup instructions

Step 2: Parent Sets Up Direct Deposit

• Follow the email link to Touchnet
• Select Parent or Authorized User
• Log in using the temporary password from the email
• Create a new password and complete profile setup
• Go to the Electronic Refunds tab
• Click Set Up Account
• Enter your bank routing number and account number
• Agree to the terms and click Continue

Note: Both the student and parent must complete these steps for Parent PLUS refunds to be delivered by direct deposit.

If your account has a credit balance and you want to return some of your loan funds, please email Financial Aid and Student Accounts and include the exact amount you want to return.

If you’ve already received a refund check, please bring the check to Student Accounts.

Your eligibility for a tuition refund, and the amount you receive, depends on when you withdraw from classes.

Visit the current Academic Calendar for dates and refund details.

1. Log in to Vision
2. Click Registration Quick Links → Registration Worksheet
   
3. If you see a negative balance, this indicates a potential refund

Note:

• Refunds are not issued until all financial aid is posted
• Integrity Loan borrowers will see credits applied to their loan, not refunded directly
