Refunds are typically disbursed via Direct Deposit or paper check.

Students must update their Penn.Pay portal to authorize Direct Deposit, which is the University’s preferred refund method.

If a student’s learning from address is within the United States or Canada and Direct Deposit is not set up, refunds are issued via paper check and mailed to that address by Penn’s third-party vendor, ECSI

If a student’s learning from address is international, refunds are processed via Flywire or PayMyTuition, depending on the student’s location and original payment method.
