Student Credit Balance Refund Policy

Refunds are issued for students with credit balances beginning Wednesday of the fifth week of the term and continuing every Friday until the end of the term.  Financial aid, payments, or adjustments must be received in the Hattiesburg Business Office by the cut-off date to be considered for refunds the following week.  You may refer to the attached schedule to find the disbursement dates for the 2025-2026 school year.

You may select how you get your school-disbursed funds. We deliver your refund with BankMobile Disbursements, a technology solution, powered by BMTX, Inc. For more information about BankMobile Disbursements and for tutorials about the refund process, visit this link:
