Credit Balances   Printable Version

When there are credit balances on student accounts due to overpayment of University charges, students may request a refund of the balance. Credit balances on accounts of fellowship students will be verified by the GSAS Financial Aid Office. Fellowships will be adjusted to reflect actual correct registration and also if students have waived medical insurance from Columbia University. Refunds of Title IV funds may only be used for educationally related expenses such as books and living costs. Refunds may only be requested at the University’s Student Financial Services Desk at 210 Kent Hall or through a link in the list of FAQs at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/sfs. Refunds are issued as paper checks mailed to the local address on record or as direct deposits. Please contact Student Financial Services to file a Direct Deposit Authorization or visit the SFS Web site above for more information.
