FRAUD ALERT
We have received reports that
several UCSB students have become victims of a Fraud Scheme whereby a third
party is using stolen credit cards to make payments to the University. Credit Card and eCheck
Payments to UCSB should be made directly by the Student or Parent using a
Credit Card or Banking Information owned by the Student or Parent. Do not allow other people to access
your account to make payment on your behalf.
FINANCIAL
AID REFUNDS
UCSB is committed to getting
financial aid refunds to students in the safest and most expedient means
possible. To that end, we strongly
encourage all students receiving financial aid to enroll in eRefund. eRefund is a system
that provides UCSB with the ability to issue a direct deposit of funds to a
student’s personal checking or savings account.
Students not enrolled in eRefund receive their
refunds by way of a paper check that is mailed to their local mailing address.
On average, students enrolled in eRefund receive
their refunds 5 to 7 days earlier than those students receiving a paper check.
