If you cannot, or choose not to, purchase from a participating vendor:

- Pay the vendor out of pocket, then reimburse yourself with your refund. Refunds are issued no earlier than the 4th week of the semester.
- Sign up for direct deposit at and select Pay Bill/Sign Up for E-Refund.

- Please allow 7 or more business days for processing after funds are disbursed.
Note: Your loan must cover your semester balance and the total cost of supplies. If the vendor requires payment before your refund arrives, you must pay upfront and reimburse yourself later.
