I am not expecting a refund, do I have to make a refund selection preference?
You may be one of those students who does not receive financial aid or refunds but we ask that you choose a preference as well. A refund may generate for other reasons. You may register for classes, pay for the classes and then drop classes. Depending on the timing of your drop, you may be entitled to a refund. We want you to have everything in place so that we can issue the refund. If you do not make a refund selection preference now, your refunds may be delayed.
Will I have to select my preference each time I am anticipating a refund?
No. This is just done one time. You would only have to do this again if you want to change your initial choice.
