Refund Information

Direct deposit is the fastest and most secure way to receive your refund. Without it, a refund check will be mailed to you.

To set up direct deposit:

1. Have your bank routing and account numbers ready
2. Log in to Workday
3. Go to the “Student Financials” hub
4. Click “Payment Elections” under “Suggested Links”
5. Click the “Add” button to enter your bank account info
6. Under “Preferred Payment Method,” select direct deposit for “Student Refunds”

Refunds (via check or direct deposit) are processed once per week after the semester begins.

Note: Refund amounts may change if you adjust your class schedule or update your financial aid.

Western’s tuition refund policy is separate from federal aid rules. Even if you receive a tuition refund, you may still owe a repayment to federal aid programs.
