Refund Process 

Students should allow ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days from the date financial aid is disbursed into their student account and a credit appears for the processing of residual refunds. If payment is made by credit/debit card, refunds will be processed back to the credit/debit card.  

Unless the eRefund method has been established, refunds will be mailed to the student's permanent mailing address. The Office of Student Accounts does not hold checks for pickup.  

Institutional Scholarship Refund Policy  

Institutional scholarships are applied toward the payment of UNA tuition and fees, on-campus housing, meal plans, and required class materials purchased at the UNA Bookstore.  The total amount of institutional scholarship awards (per semester) may not exceed the cost of tuition and fees, on-campus housing, meal plans, and required class materials purchased through the UNA Bookstore when added to any other institutional scholarships.  Institutional scholarships, apart from designated Service Scholarships, are non-refundable and may not result in a payment to the student.  Students who receive federal aid, designated Service Scholarships, or non-institutional scholarships may receive excess funds.   

Tuition Remission 

University of North Alabama Tuition Remission will be applied towards tuition and fees before any other aid or scholarships are applied and will under no circumstances be converted to cover any expenses other than tuition and fees.  In no case will a combination of Tuition Remission and Institutional Scholarships result in a payment to the student.  Students who receive federal aid, designated Service Scholarships, or non-institutional scholarships may receive excess funds.
