Student accounts office shares fall 2024 refund timing info and tips
In accordance with George Fox’s refund policies, we will not begin initiating refunds of excess fall term aid prior to Monday, Aug. 26. It is also important to note that refunds will not be issued to any students in session-based classes prior to the start of their fall term classes.
Please take the following steps to avoid refund delays:
- Be sure that you have activated Direct Deposit for refunding and ensure that the banking information you’ve provided is accurate and up to date. (Click on “Financial Account” of your MyGeorgeFox student homepage.)
- Make all enrollment changes PRIOR to the start of the term.
- Pay off any prior balances, no matter how small.
- Make any changes to your financial aid BEFORE it disburses to your student account.
We notify students that refunds have been processed by emailing their George Fox email address.
The first two weeks of the term are especially busy for our refund specialist. Emails and phone calls received between Aug. 26 and Sept. 6 might not be answered until the third week of the term so she can focus on getting refunds initiated and submitted for processing.
Feel free to email studentaccountrefunds@georgefox.edu with any questions.
