For each term, credit card refunds will be processed after the term's change of schedule period. However, students may ask for a credit card refund prior to this by contacting the Student & University Billing Office. If a student receives a refund of amounts charged to a credit card, the credit card owners are responsible for paying any and all interest charges accrued on the credit card.
