Refund Policies and Procedures
Students may have credit balances on their accounts as a result of charge adjustments or as a result of an overpayment. Because students sometimes prefer that a credit be applied to their account for the following fall semester, you must request a refund in writing.
Approved academic petitions to withdraw from courses will not automatically result in removal or adjustment of charges. A financial petition requesting consideration to remove tuition and fee liability must be submitted to the Office of Student Accounts at the address below. However, no refunds will be considered for students who have completed more than one-half of a session or term. If you are petitioning your charges, you must apply in writing within three months after the end of the session in which you were enrolled. Students are not eligible to receive a refund (or adjustment or charges) until officially withdrawn from all summer session classes.
All refund requests must be submitted in writing to:
Student Accounts Office
254 Administration Bldg.
Stony Brook University
Stony Brook, NY 11794-1301
Telephone (631) 632-2455

If you have charged your payment, and your refund has been approved, your refund will be credited to your charge card. You must apply for a refund in writing within one year after the end of the session in which you were enrolled.

Financial Aid
Financial Aid programs available for Summer Sessions

Summer Eligibility Requirements
Only matriculated Stony Brook students can apply for these programs. Visiting students should check with the institution they attend during the academic year. Applicants for TAP, Stafford Loans, and PLUS Loans must enroll in summer session classes for a minimum of six (6) units. Undergraduate Federal Work Study applicants must be enrolled. Advanced graduate students engaged in full-time research must enroll in the appropriate course.
Because the TAP, Pell Grant, and the Stafford Loan programs have maximum award limits that cannot be exceeded, applicants should check with the Office of Student Financial Aid Services to ensure that their eligibility for future semesters will not be affected by a summer award.
Anticipated Aid
Certain types of awards that have been accepted but have not yet been disbursed to your University account are considered “anticipated aid.” Award estimates, stipends, Work-Study, and student reported awards are not recorded as anticipated aid. In addition, anticipated aid that is not disbursed after a period of time will expire and will no longer be taken into account against any outstanding University charges. Please note that if your aid has expired, it can still be disbursed to your account once the disbursement hold is resolved. To avoid potential late fees and registration blocks, it is important to promptly follow up on all required documents.
For more information, contact the Office of Student Financial Aid Services, 180 Administration Building. Telephone: (631) 632-6840. Fax: (631) 632-9525.
