Refunds and Withdrawals

Please visit www.nyu.edu/bursar and select Refunds. Once the initial refund process is run for the term, refunds are processed every business day. US students will receive the refund by setting up an eRefund account for direct deposit to a US checking account in eSuite.

If you drop a course or withdraw from the university completely, your tuition and registration fee charges are subject to the university Refund Schedule policy. If you are a financial aid recipient, your refund will not be processed until a calculation is performed to determine the amount of financial aid, if any, you are still eligible to receive.
