Refunds
Student Choice Refund Methods
Refunds will begin processing after the drop/add period. Refunds are disbursed based on your student choice refund method.
Students may choose one of the following refund options:
- Paper Check (default method for all students)
- Direct Deposit (checking/savings)
- Reloadable Debit Card (Mercer DOES NOT supply cards)
How to enroll in Direct Deposit/Reloadable Debit Cards
- Sign into your MyMercer
- Click on My Finances tab on the left-hand side of your home page
- Select Pay and Manage My Account
- Click on Manage Refunds to manage your refund options
Please make sure that all account information is correct prior to submitting enrollment. If a bank account, routing number or reloadable debit card number is entered incorrectly, you will receive a paper check and your refund may be delayed.
Paper Checks
Checks should arrive within 7-10 days after the check is shipped. Verify that your student master/permanent address is correct in order to avoid any possible delays in receiving your check. To update your address information, log in to your MyMercer student portal, click on My Profile and then click My Information and make changes there.
International Refunds
International students are permitted to transfer funds up to the value of one academic year's tuition and fees for their respective program. Any surplus amounts received beyond the billed tuition and fees will be returned to the original funding source by Mercer University upon the student's graduation or withdrawal from the institution. Any banking fees incurred during the return process will be deducted from the surplus funds before their return.
Please note, the university does not offer banking services and will not issue excess International Payments to the student as a stipend for expenses outside of the tuition bill. If a student requires additional funds for their educational expenses, the university encourages individuals to wire those funds directly into the students U.S. Bank Account.
