If you are expecting a refund for the semester and want to use some of the anticipated credit to cover books, please contact our office to verify your anticipated credit balance. The Office of Student Accounts will allow you to transfer up to $500.00 of the anticipated credit balance to Marauder Gold and, from there, to a voucher at the University Store. Funds may be transferred beginning 10 days prior to the start of the semester. This amount can be used toward the purchase of books and supplies at the University Store only. To take advantage of this offer, contact our office at (717) 871-5101 or via email at osa@millersville.edu and make sure to include your M#. Simply let us know how much of your anticipated aid you would like to transfer. Please note the amount of your future refund will be reduced by the amount you transfer.

Parent PLUS loan refunds are processed based on the refunding method chosen by the borrower during the application process. The borrower can choose to receive any refund themselves or have a refund go to the student to whose account the loan is paid. Please note – PLUS loan refunds being sent to the parent borrower are issued via check to the address on the loan application and may take up to 3 weeks to process.

Students who reduce their credit hour load after the end of the drop/add period so as to qualify for billing as part-time students shall not be eligible for a refund of the amount billed which exceeds the part-time rate. After the drop/add period, refunds for tuition and general fee shall be made only for full semester withdrawals.

After the end of the drop/add period, there will be no partial refunds for fulltime students who reduce their credit hour load below fulltime status, or for part-time students who reduce their credit load. After the drop/add period, refunds of tuition and the general fee will only be made for students who officially withdraw from the university or, in the case of eligible undergraduates, take an official leave of absence.

The technology fee is non-refundable after the drop/add period and the refund of tuition and general fee will be based on the following schedule for the fall and spring semester. Students: please note that dropping or withdrawing from a course after the first week of class will NOT result in a refund.

These deadlines are for standard length Fall courses only. For non-standard length course deadlines, consult the Registrar's Office DROP/ADD & WITHDRAW.

If you expect a refund please contact us, including your M#, by email at osa@millersville.edu.

Expecting a student refund? We recommend selecting Direct Deposit for speed and security, as outlined above.

Students who register are responsible to drop any class they do not plan to attend. Failure to drop the class before the semester begins may result in charges and/or grades being posted to your records. Do not rely on the "drop for non-payment" policy to remove these classes. There is no automatic drop for non-attendance. Also see:

Housing charges will only be refunded for students who completely withdraw from the University and properly check out of the residence hall. The housing refund effective date will correspond with the date the student officially checks out of the residence hall. The student must coordinate the official checkout with their respective Residential Area Director (RAD). Refer to Section IX: Residence Hall in the Living On Campus Guide for more information.
