Payment Refunds

Financial Aid Living Expense Refund

Financial aid refunds are automatically processed at the beginning of each term, unless the student has requested that the credit remain on the student account.

How to Request a Non-Financial Aid Refund
Other credit refunds must be requested in writing by the student. Students may contact the Office of Student Accounts in person or by phone at 310.506.4981. E-mail requests may be sent to SPPSA@pepperdine.edu, using the student's Pepperdine e-mail account. We cannot respond to non-Pepperdine e-mail.

As part of the refund process, the student's account will be audited and financial aid will be verified before a refund is processes.

E-Refunds
Refunds are issued to the bank account determined by the student through direct deposit. Students will be required to sign up with their bank information through WaveNet. Students who do not sign up for direct deposit will be issued a paper check that will be mailed to their local address.

Refunds for a term will not be processed until the term begins. Therefore, refunds will not be issued prior to the start of the semester. A refund also cannot be processed until there is an ending credit balance on the student account.

Overpayment Refunds
Payments in excess of the amount due the University may be rejected and returned to the payer. Students are responsible for accurate and timely payments. Any overpayment amounts accepted by the University may be refunded at the end of the term with the student's written request. A $50 processing fee will be deducted from the amount of the refund.
