Student Refunds
The University’s preferred refund method is direct deposit. Please take this opportunity to sign up for direct deposit so that future refunds will be automatically deposited into your bank account. All students who wish to enroll for direct deposit can log into COIN via the myUMassD portal to designate the bank account into which their refund will be deposited. A job aid to assist with the process can be found at COIN for Students.
If direct deposit is not established, a check will be mailed to the student’s permanent address found in COIN Student Center. Please allow 2-4 weeks to receive a mailed check. Checks are no longer available for pick up at the Student Service Center (SSC).
Financial Aid refund checks
Students whose financial aid award exceeds their charges will receive an email notification to their UMass Dartmouth e-mail account when a refund check is available. Refunds are processed beginning late September for the fall semester and early to mid February for the spring semester.

If you have a credit balance on your student account, you may request that the University hold it for the academic year instead of refunding it to you. The form must be submitted promptly or the refund will be automatically generated for you. Federal Student Aid Refund Hold Authorization
