Tuition Refund

Refunds are not processed until the 100% refund period for the semester has passed.

The Business Office, in Building A, Room 214, will process refunds within 10 business days after a credit balance is on a student’s account, assuming it was paid with guaranteed funds.

Refund Eligibility

To be eligible for a refund, students must drop during the 100% refund period.  Refund and withdraw dates may vary per class, depending on the end date of the section within each Part of Term and are listed on the online version of the Academic Calendar. Refund deadlines will also be listed on the course schedule and the student's schedule on the My Registration tab of the My Harper Portal. Students who do not attend class and who do not submit an official written notice for dropping a class(es) will not receive any refund and are subject to an F grade.

Refund Process

If payment was made by credit card in person or online through Quikpay, the refund will be applied to the credit card account from which the payment originated as long as the refund is within 75 days of the payment date.

If payment was made with cash, check, or through a payment plan, the refund will be in the form of a check, direct deposit or onto your student refund card. The direct deposit or student refund card needs to be established at least one week prior to a refund being issued to ensure that the refund is directed to the correct location.

Student Refund Card

The Student Refund Card works much like a regular debit card. The refund card can be obtained in the Business Office in Building A, Room 214.

Direct Deposit

Direct Deposit forms are available in the Business Office and are printable off of the MyHarper Student Portal under the MyPayments tab.  Complete the form, attach a voided check, and either deliver it to the Business Office in Building A, Room 214, or fax it to the Business Office at 847.925.6052.

• Please remember that you must notify the Business Office of any change in your bank account
• The bank account must have the students name on it.

When a refund is issued, a notification email is sent to the email address provided upon signing up for direct deposit.

Direct deposit funds normally take a minimum of 48 hours to reach the bank account once the refund has been processed.

Excess Financial Aid

Refunds that are issued due to having excess Financial Aid will be issued as a check, direct deposit, or student refund card within 10 days of the crediting showing on the student account.
