Answer

In most cases, your financial aid is applied in the form of a payment on your student account to cover any outstanding balance, including Tution and Fees, and Housing and Meals.  The refund that you received is the remaining amount that was not applied to any charges.  Students are encouraged to View Their Student Account to confirm that there are not any remaining charges on their account.  Depending on the type of financial aid, some funds are issued directly to the student.  

If you have questions about the actual amount of the financial aid you are eligible for, please contact Financial Aid and Scholarships by calling (909) 537-5227 or emailing financialaid@csusb.edu.
