Electronic Refunds

The fastest, most convenient way for you to get your refund is to sign up for electronic refunds. If you do this, any excess balance on your account — whether it's from overpayment, a surplus in financial aid, or you had to withdraw — will automatically be direct deposited into your personal checking or savings account. There's no need to wait in line to pick up your refund check.

How Do Electronic Refunds Work?

Once you have signed up for Electronic Refunds, you will receive an email notification to your UW-Green Bay email account every time a refund is sent to your bank account. Once you enroll in Electronic Refunds this will be in effect the entire time you are a student at UW-Green Bay or until you un-enroll from electronic refunding. If your banking information changes, you will need to update your account information on the Electronic Refund page. If we are notified by our bank that your account information is incorrect, this could result in a two week delay of receiving your refund as a paper check.

Other Refund Options

If you do not wish to set up automatic direct deposits with electronic refunds, a paper check will be mailed to your SIS 'home' address the Monday after the refund was processed in your SIS account.
International student paper refund checks will be mailed to their dormitory address.

How to Set Up Electronic Refunds

Turn Off Your Pop-Up Blocker

When signing up for Electronic Refunds, you may want to check if your pop-up blocker is on. You may need to temporarily disable it for the electronic deposit signup page to appear.

The confirmation step generates a text or email message to the student with a unique authorization code. You must enter this code before completing enrollment or changing their refund method.
A “Manage Mobile Alerts” screen will pop up where you can sign up to have the unique authorization number sent to your personal phone as a text.
