Pell Grant Refund Process
Students who are registered and attending class will be disbursed the remaining balance of their Pell Grant award within fourteen days of the credit appearing on the student’s ledger account. Students are encouraged to sign up for eRefund in TouchNet. Students who do not select to participate in eRefunds will be required to pick up refund checks in the business office on the Jasper Campus. Disbursements will continue to be made every other week for students who establish Pell Grant eligibility after the beginning of the semester.

Bevill State encourages Direct Deposit (eRefunds) for all students to receive their Financial Aid and Tuition refunds. eRefunds eliminate the chance of a check getting lost, misdirected, delayed during delivery, or misplaced once it is received. Refunds will be available much quicker as they are not mailed and deposit directly into the student’s bank account eliminating the need to physically visit a bank to make a deposit. There are no fees from Bevill State for using eRefunds. Students who do not select to participate in eRefunds will be required to pick up refund checks in the business office on the Jasper Campus.
