Please note that if a refund is due and a payment was made to the fee account via credit card for that term, the refund will ONLY be issued back to the credit card used when payment was submitted.  If the refund is greater than the credit card payment made, the remainder of the refund will be issued based on the preference the student selected to receive their refund.  If the student did not consent to using BMTX, Inc., services to receive their refund, the remaining refund will be mailed to the mailing address on file.

Student Refunds for 1st Semester Freshmen:

First semester freshmen may have a delay in receiving their refund due to the required 30 day delay for loan processing for 1st time (1st Semester) students. If a first semester freshman is only receiving federal loans as payment for their student tuition, fees, and charges and is expecting a refund after all tuition & fees, meals, housing, etc. are paid, you should expect your refund to be issued after September 26, 2024 for fall 2024.  If you need to purchase books prior to the refund, please go to https://www.pvamu.edu/fmsv/treasury-services/book-vouchers/ to see how to request a book voucher.

Student Refunds on Parent Plus Loans:

All refunds resulting from a Parent Plus Loan will only be refunded to the student’s parent/legal guardian as stated on the loan application if a credit balance is showing on the parent plus loan payment. If the parent plus loan is disbursed prior to the student’s other financial aid award, the parent plus loan will be applied to the student’s tuition & fee charges first and a refund may not be issued to the parent. If there is a credit on the parent plus loan payment and the parent selects the box on the parent plus loan application to “issue to student”, the refund will be issued directly to the student.  If the parent did not check the “issue to student” box on the application, and wishes to have the refund issued to the student, the parent or legal guardian must have a signed written consent that must be faxed to the Treasury Services office at (936) 261- 1959 along with parent/legal guardian picture ID if the parent wishes to have the parent plus refund amount refunded directly to the student. Refunds will be issued from Prairie View A&M University and not BMTX, Inc., if the refund is made payable to the parent.  Documentation must be received by Treasury Services at least 3 days prior to the refund distribution.
