If you are a financial aid recipient with a credit balance on your account after all tuition, fees and other charges are covered, a refund will be issued after the add/drop period (first 7 days of each semester). Generally, refunds are processed within one week. Please note that in the beginning of all semesters, refunds will take approximately two weeks to process due to the large number of students with credit balances.

La Salle University must process all refunds within two weeks if the credit is due to Federal financial aid only. For example, if you are charged $2,000 for the fall semester and you have a Federal student loan for $3,000, the credit would be from Federal financial aid. 

Refunds are mailed to the student's home address. No exceptions.

If you have a credit balance, you may elect to have a portion of this credit balance transferred to your Gold Card account. Many students use this option to purchase books during the beginning of the semester when it may take a few weeks to get the refund processed. Please see the Office of Student and Accounts Receivable for more information regarding Gold Card transfers.
