Refunds of Credit Balances

Over-payment, scholarship credits, adjustments, and financial aid payments may result in a credit balance on a student account. If an account indicates a credit balance, the student will be refunded.

Federal Direct Loan and private loan payments resulting in a credit balance will be refunded within 10 - 14 days of the date the credit appears on the student account.

Credits resulting from a Federal Parent PLUS Loan will be refunded to the parent listed as the borrower unless otherwise noted in the application. This loan only applies to undergraduate students.

If a student on a payment plan later receives financial aid that creates a credit on the student account, the plan will be closed.

Lesley University students are enrolled in the Student Account Center (SAC) and eRefunding. Students are encouraged to enroll in eRefunding though the SAC. Access to the SAC is granted through Lesley Self-Service. After completion of the enrollment process, an email will be received by the student confirming the preference chosen.
