Credit Balances & Refunds
On this page:
Credit Balance Funds
Credit Balance Funds are created when a student‘s account is overpaid. These funds are refunded to the student as follows:
- Credit Card Payments credited back to the credit card.
- Direct Deposit funds transmitted directly to a specified bank account.
See Direct Deposit
- Credit Balance Checks created for all other accounts.
These refunds are disbursed by the Office of Assistant Treasurer and all inquiries regarding the status of a mailed check or pick up hours should be directed to that office.
To expedite your refund, we strongly suggest setting up Direct Deposit.
Direct Deposit
For your convenience and in the interest of safety, Howard University in conjunction with Bank of America has implemented direct deposit for student account credit balances to include credits resulting from federal Parent Plus Loans for all students. You may use the bank of your choice or establish a new account with Bank of America free of charge.

Students without parent loans may now submit and update their Direct Deposit information in BisonWeb. Go to: Student > Student Accounts > Direct Deposit |
Students with parent loans still need to complete a  Direct Deposit Form.
Requests for additional information and completed should be submitted to:
Office of the Assistant Treasurer
2244 10th Street, NW Suite 402
Washington, DC 20059
Fax (202) 806-9533
directdeposit@howard.edu
Direct deposit requests for students receiving federal Parent Plus Loans must be authorized by both the student and the parent or guardian.
If you have submitted a direct deposit form and would like to confirm receipt/processing of the form, please follow up with the Assistant Treasurer by e-mail at directdeposit@howard.edu. The Office of Student Account cannot verify this information.
