Life Resources

All students have life and learning needs that sometimes extend beyond the classroom. There are times during your college career when you may need information about the food pantry on campus (location and hours), awareness of childcare options, the availability of safe spaces, counselors ready to speak with you, hotlines linking to other services, or other kinds of assistance.

This Life Resources page has been created to help you find the services you need.

Financial Resources

Marauder Gold Funds & University Book Vouchers: You can request to transfer up to $500 of their anticipated refund to Marauder Gold Funds, and then from there, to a voucher with the University Store. This request can be made at any time once bills have been generated, so long as there is a credit balance on your account. This request must be made with the Office of Student Accounts. For instructions on requesting a transfer to Marauder Gold Funds and a book voucher, click here.

Advanced Refund Request: An Advanced Refund Request is an early payment of your scheduled refund; it is not additional financial assistance. Applications will only be approved for the amount of your anticipated refund; up to the maximum amount of $350. Applications can be submitted at any time before the start of the semester; however, they cannot be processed until the first day of classes. Click here for the Advanced Refund Request form. Forms can be submitted to the Office of Financial Aid.

Additional Resources: Students often have needs beyond financial aid that they need to help them be successful at Millersville and in life. The Office of Financial Aid encourages you to explore the University and local resources that are available. View resources here.
