Student Account Refund Requests

Refunds for Excess Funds

Students may find that they have a negative balance, or credit, on their account due to an excess of funds from financial aid or other form of payment to the account. These credits can be refunded back through direct deposit or by check. Checks may be requested to be picked up at the Student Accounts office, or mailed to the address indicated on the refund request form. Direct deposit must first be set up on Touchnet at www.mville.edu/myaccount.


Please be advised: If a student requests to receive their refund by check and there is direct deposit set up on the account, the refund will be processed as a direct deposit. 

Excess funds from Parent PLUS Loans will be refunded back to the borrower if they have indicated to directly receive a refund of any credit resulting from the PLUS Loan. If the borrower elects instead for the student to receive the refund, the refund will be processed to the student. Borrowers may also authorize this by signing the bottom of the refund request form. 

Please note that if a credit is caused by an excess of financial aid, refunds cannot be issued until the aid is disbursed to the student's account. Please allow 7-10 business days for the refund to be processed and to receive the credit by check or direct deposit.
