Note that these procedures cover complaints of a general nature and do not supersede specific policies involving special cases such as grade appeals, sexual harassment, etc., which are covered elsewhere in the Student Handbook, catalog or Graduate/DPS Policies.

The intent of this list is to bring peace or action! The Office of Student Accounts, unfortunately, will not be able to respond to emails asking for refund specifics without delaying all refunds. Watch your George Fox email for updates!

Assuming you have a credit balance, here are four common refunds delays:

1. You have not signed up for MyGFU direct deposit or your bank info is incorrect
2. You have a financial aid credit but also an unpaid balance due (pay your account through MyGFU today; see No. 3 below and complete a T4 Permission Form)
3. There is a personal payment on your account. We do not refund personal payments unless you request it. In addition, recent payments need up to two weeks to clear your bank. To refund only the financial aid portion takes special handling. (You can help by emailing jgetsing@georgefox.edu if you are expecting a refund and a personal payment is involved.)
4. Due to recent or pending activity, your credit balance appears to be in flux. (Get fully registered and squared away now, and if you are reducing a loan, please email jgetsing@georgefox.edu with the specifics).
