Refund Options

Temple University offers 2 refund options:

1. Direct Deposit
2. Paper Check

We highly encourage students to enroll in Direct Deposit.  With Direct Deposit, you select a U.S. checking or savings bank account of your choice. Your refund will be available in approximately 3 business days.

Direct Deposit sign-up steps can be found at Enroll in Direct Deposit.

If you do not enroll in direct deposit, a paper check is mailed to your mailing or permanent address listed in the Personal Information Section of Self-Service Banner (SSB) with mailing address being selected first. Since this may not be the address you currently reside at and address changes delay refunds, we strongly encourage direct deposit.
