Federal regulations prohibit Suffolk University from holding Federal Loan proceeds in excess of 14 days from the first day of classes, if the loan(s) creates a refund. Stafford loans received after the semester begins will be refunded within 14 days of their receipt, unless specified by the student to hold the funds. If you adjust your course schedule after you receive this refund check, you must make proper arrangements to cover your balance.

Financial Aid refunds will not be processed until after the last day to drop a course without a grade of "W". Refunds for payments made by check, money order, or credit card(s) will be processed after the add/drop period ends.

Any credit balance that results from a credit card payment will be reversed back to that card. No refunds will be made by check, regardless of the time between payment and date of refund.
