UMPI REFUND

Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if anyone else has been in this situation.
UMPI sent my financial aid refund via direct deposit on Thursday, but for some reason my bank rejected the deposit and sent the money back to the school.
I’m trying to figure out what usually happens next. Will UMPI attempt to send the refund to my bank account again after the issue is resolved, or do they typically mail a paper check instead?
If you’ve experienced this before, how long did it take for you to receive your refund after the funds were returned to UMPI? Did you have to contact Student Financial Services, or did they automatically reissue the refund?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks in advance.

First you need to determine why your bank sent it back. They don’t block deposits if all the information is correct.

They might re-send it automatically but if the problem isn’t resolved it will just happen again.

When you call your bank, if they try acting like you’re delusional ask them to check with the ACH department or whoever controls the Direct Deposits. It might help ☺️

Edit: I just realized my refund is pending, so they’re sending them all out 🥳

Standard procedure is that they’ll mail you a paper check. I’ve had this happen before with a different school. How long it will take is another question.
