Refund Policies

2023-24 annual permit refunds are not issued after the week of March 29.

Faculty and staff
  • Staff or faculty who purchased a permit via credit card or check in one transaction may request a refund online at any time but no refunds are issued after the week of March 29. Under most circumstances, a refund will be granted. Refunds for permits purchased online will be issued to the card used for purchase. If a refund cannot be credited back to the original card, a check request will be sent to Disbursement Services for direct deposit or a paper check to be issued and mailed to your address on file.
  • Faculty and staff who pay for a permit by payroll deduction should request a refund online to cancel a permit. PaTS will notify the payroll office. Please allow up to two pay periods before the deduction stops.
  • Credit card on file (CCOF) refunds will be processed based on how many payments have been made. Once you request a refund online, any further charges stop and a refund will be calculated accordingly. Please note that you must request a refund at least three business days before the next scheduled payment in order to stop payment.
  • Unpaid citation fines are deducted from refunds.
Students
  • Refunds for permits purchased online with a credit card will be issued to the card used for purchase. If a refund cannot be credited back to the original card, your student account will be credited for the refund amount and deposited directly to your bank account (if direct deposit is set up), or a paper check will be issued and mailed to your address on file.
