Disbursing Funds & Refunds
Once your grants and loans have paid, you may have a refund available to you in the Bursar’s office.
During the first week before the semester begins, refund checks will not be available to be picked up. This is an extremely busy time for the Bursar’s Office as they are getting the checks ready for disbursement, thus they cannot allow students to come to the office for pickup of their refunds. However, you may opt to have your refund check directly deposited into your checking or savings account. Simply login to https://my.ipfw.edu and click on the Billing icon in the upper right hand corner:
Within 24 to 48 hours of transmission, your refund will be deposited to your bank account. Credit balances due to disbursement of Federal Parent PLUS Loans and dropped classes originally paid by credit card are excluded.
If you would still like to receive a paper check, be aware that the checks will be mailed out on a continuous basis during the week before classes for all zip codes beginning with:
- 467
- 468
- 469
- 467
- 465
- 434
- 435
- 436
- 458
- 490
- and 492
For other zip codes, you may pick up your check during the first week of classes in the Bursar’s office.
Refund checks generated during the first week of classes and thereafter may be picked up in the Bursar’s Office, with photo ID, after 11 a.m. daily. If a refund check is not picked up by the following Friday, Bursar will then mail the check.
Before a refund check is mailed, your tuition and fees will generally be paid.
If you go into an overaward status after your check has been mailed, you may be required to pay back some of this refund. An overaward occurs when a new type of aid has come onto your account resulting in owing money back on your loans.
