We are still in need of additional volunteers for next Sunday's Commencement events. Volunteers assist by distributing programs, and providing direction and information to our candidates and their guests.

Volunteers will be asked to assist in guiding graduates and their guests to Department and Program Reception locations following the Commencement ceremony.

Subject: Summer credit refunds for Day students
Submitter: Wendi R Wheeler, Associate Director, Enrollment Services, Enrollment Center

Message: Recently Admissions and housing deposits were returned to Day student accounts, resulting in a credit balance for many students. All Day students with a credit balance greater than $100 will have a refund check issued by June 22. The Enrollment Center has already issued roughly 700 checks and mailed most to students’ permanent addresses. Check your Account Activity on AugNet to see if a “Credit Refund” has been issued.

Students who have a credit balance of $100 or less and are registered for Fall Semester may request a credit refund by June 25 by contacting the Enrollment Center. Otherwise, the balance will remain on the student account and be applied toward Fall charges.

Students with a credit balance of $100 or less who are not registered for Fall will have a check issued by the end of the summer. There is no need to request these checks; they will be automatically issued. Check your Account Activity on AugNet to see if a “Credit Refund” has been issued.
