Refund Hold Authorization

• If you have a credit balance on your fee bill you may request that the university hold it for you instead of refunding it to you.  To do this, Department of Education regulations require that we obtain authorization from you.  A credit balance occurs when the university credits Federal Student Aid (FSA) funds to your account and the total amount of those funds exceed your allowable charges. FSA funds include Pell Grants, ACG and SMART Grants, FSEOG (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants), TEACH Grants, Perkins Loans, Stafford Loans and Plus Loans. 

  If your credit balance was not caused by federal financial aid you may still use this online request form.  In all cases this is a voluntary authorization and is valid from the date that we receive this request from you.  You may also cancel at any time and the cancellation likewise takes affect on the date that we receive it from you.  In such cases the funds will be paid to you within 14 calendar days after the school receives your cancellation request.

  Note: UConn will not under any circumstances hold a credit balance greater than the equivalent of one semester’s tuition and fees.
