Yes. You will absolutely receive your refund quicker once E-Refunds begin! Currently, students wait approximately 14 business days to receive refunds in the mail. E-Refunds will reduce this time significantly and eliminate the need to take a check to the bank to deposit or cash.

Students who want to release information about their financial aid or billing account may submit the Authorization to Release Information form. This authorization form, required by both Financial Aid and Student Business Services, allows the designee to obtain the student's financial aid and/or billing information via phone, email, or in-person.

Students and parents have been asking for direct deposit of refunds for quite some time. Currently, the State Comptroller’s Office in Annapolis processes and mails our paper refund checks. The Comptroller’s Office offers direct deposit of student refunds, but unfortunately cannot accommodate the volume that UMBC would be submitting. After looking into a number of companies and reviewing their products, we decided that HigherOne was the best option.

HigherOne is affiliated with CashNet, the company that currently offers our Student Payment Gateways, E-billing, the UMBC Monthly Payment Plan and our Cashiering solutions. We liked the idea of integrating our services and believed this would make it an easier transition for our students and staff.

HigherOne was very highly recommended by other schools (Howard Community College and University of Maryland Baltimore) who already partner with HigherOne to offer E-Refunds.

We do not want our students to incur any additional fees. The HigherOne option (with the Student Refund Card) charges little to no fees and, if you choose to have your deposits go to an existing account, there are no additional fees for sending refunds to that account.

We were impressed by HigherOne’s professionalism and commitment to customer service and support. We liked their immediate notifications to students, via emails and text messages, when refunds are available. We also liked the idea that, for students that do not currently have a bank account relationship, the HigherOne account option would be an easy way for them to establish an account.

No. The refunds currently being processed in the month of August and September will be sent to students via paper checks. All refunds will continue to be processed via paper check until the October transition to E-Refunds. We believe that the majority of refunds for the Fall 2011 semester will be processed in the traditional (paper check) way.

There are a variety of reasons why a Permission number may not work. Here are some possible explanations.  Ultimately, you should check with the person who issued you the permission to help troubleshoot the problem.

1. You added the Permission number to the course that was already in your Shopping Cart.

   Once you have obtained a permission number, you must start from scratch when adding the class to your schedule. Delete the course from your Shopping Cart and re-add the course and then enter the Permission number.

2. The Permission number was given to you for another section of the course.

   Contact the person who issued you the Permission number. Confirm the section number and class number for the correct course. Re-add the class then enter the Permission number.

3. The type of Permission for a particular course may not have been selected when the Permission number was generated for you.

   When a Permission number is generated, it is associated with the type of Permission the student needs for a course. Occasionally, a permission type may not be selected or selected and not needed.

   Below are the types of course Permissions. You may need more than one type of permission selected for the same course.
