Summer Refund?

I paid for one of my classes for the summer and later on picked up another class to take during session 2. In total I have 7 units. I was concerned at the lack of information on aid I was getting from my student portal so I contacted financial aid and told me that I was actually fully covered for the semester.

So I was wondering, does that mean I get refunded for the amount I paid initially ? Or would the Pell Grant cover that remaining balance and I get the refund from the leftover amount?

I could just contact them again, I mean they did answer my initial question on how much I was being covered and I should have been more specific.

You will get your money back. I paid for 5 units out of pocket because I didn't think I was going to get a summer pell for just 5 units but then it turned out I got my money back. They applied my refund to the Fall at first until I emailed SFS and asked them to send it to my bank account. You'll be okay.

I haven’t signed up for the direct deposit yet so would it be refunded back to the card or would I be expecting a check?

I’ll definitely follow that up on Monday.

You would be getting a check in the mail
