Ways to Receive Your Refund
You can receive your refund by direct deposit or check.
Please note: If your refund comes from a Parent Plus Loan, the borrower of the loan will receive the refund.
Direct Deposit
Direct deposit is the most convenient method of receiving your refund.
Benefits include:
- Fastest and most secure method
- Funds are deposited into your checking account, eliminating mail wait time
Check
If you choose to receive your refund by mail or do not set up direct deposit, we’ll send your refund check to:
- Your permanent address if you’re an undergraduate
- Your local address if you are a graduate or diploma student
Please make sure your address is current in Albert Student Center to ensure you receive your refund check.

If you paid through Flywire, you have the option of having your refund issued to the originating bank account for a $35.00 fee (plus any applicable foreign exchange fees). Please contact us to request this refund method.
*NYU is not responsible for the foreign exchange rate if you choose this option
Western Union Business Solutions
For students who are not enrolled in direct deposit (do not have a USD checking account) and do not want their refund issued by paper check, you have the option of having your refund issued to a foreign bank account of your choice** by international payment through WUBS. There is a $20 USD charge if you choose to be paid in USD, rather than your local currency. Please contact us to request this refund method.
