Refunds

Refund Policy

Refunds will be processed only when an actual credit appears on your account. If the amount of your credit consists of an expected source of funding, such as an expected Direct Loan or an expected state or Pell Grant, your refund will not be processed until those funds are received or finalized. You may receive a partial refund of funds actually received. (Be sure to submit another refund request for the balance of your credit.)

If your account is being paid through a Tuition Payment Plan administrated by Sallie Mae, no refunds will be given until all payments are received from the Tuition Payment Plan administrated by Sallie Mae for the semester.

Stop-Payments on Student Refund Checks

If you lose a student refund check or your check is lost in the mail, you will need to come to the Student Desk at Dowling Hall, email Student Services, or call Student Services at (617) 627-2000. A stop-payment will be placed and we will reissue the check. Tufts University is charged by our bank for stop-payments. A fee of $25.00 will be charged to your account for the stop-payment.

How to Request a Refund

You may apply for a refund online via Webcenter. If you are seeking a refund made payable to a 3rd party, you must submit a signed Refund Request Form to the Student Services Desk in Dowling Hall.
