Tuition & Fee Student Account Information


Excess Financial Aid

I have applied for financial aid. Will I get a refund check? When will I get my refund check? Where will my refund check be mailed to?

  • Once financial aid has been applied to the Student Tuition Account, funds will be applied to tuition and fee charges and all excess funds will be refunded to the student
  • Refund checks are mailed to the Mailing address the student had indicated on http://my.wisc.edu at the time the refund is processed. To view your addresses:
    • http://my.wisc.edu
    • Choose Student Center
    • At the bottom of the page, you can view, update and delete your addresses.
    • If you do not see a Billing address, add one by choosing the Add a New Address button.
  • To find out when a refund check was processed and where it was mailed to, view the tuition and fee account on http://my.wisc.edu under the 'Financial' tab
  • Please allow 10 business days for the refund process
  • If there are any changes in classes and/or charges on the Student Tuition Account which may impact the student's financial aid eligibility, the aid may be reduced and student may owe money back

Can I pick up a refund check at the Bursar's Office?

  • No, refund checks are processed by an outside vendor and will be sent via U.S. Mail

I received a bill stating that I owe money back after I received a refund check, what does this mean?

  • If there are any changes in classes and/or charges on the Student Tuition Account which impact the student's tuition and fee after the refund check was processed, the student may owe all or a portion of the refund back
