Once you have enrolled in your classes, a bill will be generated for your university charges. Be sure to review the Financial Aid Dashboard at my.sc.edu to confirm that you have completed all requirements for your financial aid. Your available aid will then apply toward your charges. To complete your course registration, you will be responsible for any remaining balance due.
Refunds and Aid for Non-University Expenses (such as Rent)
If you have remaining financial aid after your university charges have been paid, you will receive the excess as a refund in the form of a check or through Direct Deposit. You may then use this refund for any educational expenses you have remaining, such as paying your rent or buying gas or groceries.
Set Up Direct Deposit
To sign up for Direct Deposit, take the following steps:
- Log into https://my.sc.edu/
- Choose the “Account Information” tab
- Click on “Sign up for Direct Deposit”
- Click on the “eRefunds” tab and set up your account using the “Set Up Account” link under the “Direct Deposit Bank Account” section
If you do not sign up for Direct Deposit, you will receive a paper check mailed by the Business Office to either your local or permanent address as listed with university records on Self Service Carolina. Be sure your address is up to date!
Parent PLUS Loan Refunds
Refunds that result from a Parent PLUS Loan will be mailed to the parent borrower at their permanent address provided on their application unless otherwise specified. If the parent address has changed, contact the Financial Aid Office on your campus.
