Refunds

A refund is available by check (mailed home and issued on Wednesdays only) or by Direct Deposit (issued on a daily basis).  Refund checks are NOT available for pick up at the regional campuses. 

Request Your Refund


Refund amounts during the Add/Drop period v Cancellation & Withdrawal are different. These are two different schedules. Please email our office before deciding to drop a course(s). If you are a Financial Aid recipient this will impact your aid.

To Add or Cancel a No Refund Hold Authorization, please complete: https://bursar.uconn.edu/resources/forms/no-refund-hold/


In the event the Bursar office issues a refund, in error, the University reserves the right to reclaim such funds.

Important Reminders:

  • Refunds for excess financial aid cannot be given until your financial aid has actually paid out to your fee bill.
  • If the UConn Financial Aid Office later determines that your financial aid  eligibility has changed, you may be required to repay all or a portion of any funds that were deposited to your account. The most common reasons for this are a change from full-time to part-time status, a change in your need calculation, or withdrawing from the university.
  • It is your responsibility to verify that all direct deposit payments have been credited to your bank account before making any purchases against these funds.
  • You must update your bank account information if there are any changes to the account.
