Flywire Direct Deposit Benefits

BENEFITS TO SETTING UP DIRECT DEPOSIT WITH FLYWIRE

  • Efficient Bundling Options - You don't need to create a different account with a third party to set up Direct Deposit. You can use your NetID and password to log in to the same bill payment suite where you submit your online payments.
  • eRefunds Tab - This feature, which displays in your dashboard, lets you sign up for eRefunds and stay updated about all refund transactions.
  • Powered by Flywire - With Flywire streamlining the refund process, your financial aid credit balance is delivered timely and accurately.

Refunds cannot be generated for students who have not provided their bank account information for Direct Deposit. Any credit balances remain on your student account until either the information is provided or additional charges are assessed on your student account, to which the credit can be applied. Failure to provide the bank account information before a credit appears on your student account will delay the receipt of your funds.

Several types of refunds are generated from your student account.

Examples of financial aid refunds are:

  • CR40 Title IV Financial Aid Refund - a refund generated from federal financial aid funds
  • CR41 Title IV Plus Loan Refund - a refund generated to the student from a federal Parent Plus loan
  • CR02 Title IV Plus Loan Refund-Parent - a refund generated to the parent from a federal Parent Plus loan
  • CRS0 Non-Title IV Financial Aid Auto Refund - a refund generated from non-federal financial aid (e.g., scholarships, state grants, state loans, alternative loans, stipends/fellowships, etc.)

Refund Timing

Financial Aid 

Refunds begin generating approximately 1 week before classes begin each semester.
Student account refunds begin generating after the add/drop period ends each semester. Student account refunds are generated from credits such as a dropped class, dropped optional charge, or overpayment to the student account.
Refunds are issued daily except for university holidays and scheduled maintenance or system processes.

 

Student Account 

Refunds begin generating after the add/drop period ends each semester. Student account refunds are generated from credits such as a dropped class, dropped optional charge, or overpayment to the student account.
Refunds for classes dropped on or before the 5th class day begin refunding daily after the 5th class day (Summer is the 4th class day). Courses will be refunded at 100% during this time period. These refunds are displayed on your student account as a Student Account Refund. 

 

Withdrawal Refunds 

Withdrawal refunds are held for 30 days to allow sufficient time for account adjustments, including auxiliary charges and/or financial aid adjustments.

Please Note: There are no refunds for Q-dropped classes.

Additional Information

If a credit remains unrefunded on your student account for over 2 business days after the add/drop period ends, please   contact Aggie One Stop. An example of a student account refund is:

Refunds Made to Student Accounts

Because payments are made to student accounts from many different parties, tracking what payments should be refunded to which parties is impossible. We rely on the student to make the correct decision on reimbursing the appropriate parties once a refund has been issued from his or her student account.

Also, students are ultimately responsible for repaying loans taken out in their own name. To avoid future issues, the University strongly recommends that students deposit refunds only to their own bank account.
