Refund resulting from a Course Withdrawal

If you withdraw from a course or withdraw completely, your registration is subject to the university Refund Schedule policy. You must fill out a Refund Application, if the refund schedule allows for a refund.

Refund resulting from a Loan

If the receipt of your student loan results in a credit balance, a refund check in your name will automatically be mailed to you. If your account is paid partly by a PLUS loan and results in an overpayment, the refund check is drawn to the borrower to the extent of the PLUS loan proceeds.

Students receiving federal aid who withdraw completely may be billed for remaining NYU account balances resulting from the mandatory return of funds to the U.S. government. Contact us at (212) 998-2818 for more details.

Refund resulting from Student Aid or Overpayment

If your tuition account has a credit balance because of excess aid or overpayment, you must complete the Refund Application.

Fastest Way to Receive Your Refund

Direct Deposit is the fastest and most secure way to receive your refund. By electing this option, a student's refund will be directly deposited into their checking account, at the financial institution of choice, which will ultimately be faster than waiting for the check to arrive in the mail.
