Student & Employee Refunds

Students and employees are strongly encouraged to set up Direct Deposit if a refund is possible. Refunds are issued when excess credits remain on an account after all charges and expenses have been paid. These credits may result from scholarships, loan disbursements, or overpayments.

Direct Deposit provides the fastest method for receiving refunds, as funds are deposited directly into the recipient's bank account.

Two options are available for receiving refunds: Direct Deposit or a physical check.

    1. Log in to Workday using your BYUH credentials.
    2. From the left sidebar, select the "Student" icon.
    3. Select "Student Finances".
    4. Under Financials Overview, locate the "Payment Elections card".
    5. Click "Add Payment Elections".

    6. Complete the required information:

      • Select your Account Type.
      • Enter your Routing Transit Number (must be exactly 9 digits).
      • Enter your Bank Account Number. Do not use your debit card number.
      • Enter your Bank Name.
    7. Click "OK" in the bottom-left corner to save your information.

  • After saving your payment election, you may see several payment types in Workday:

    • Expense – Used for reimbursements, typically for student employees with approved work-related expenses.
    • Payroll – Used for wages earned through on-campus employment.
    • Student Refunds – Used for refunds issued to your student account, such as excess financial aid or overpayments.

    Once your Direct Deposit information has been successfully saved, any eligible student refunds will be deposited directly into the bank account you specified.

  • If your preference is to pick up a paper check at the Cashier's Office, you will be notified by email when it is ready to be picked up.

    If you currently do not have a U.S.-based bank account and are not physically at BYUH to be able to pick up a refund check at the BYUH Cashier Office, please get in touch with the Cashier Office by phone or email to review other options for payment delivery.

    For more information, don't hesitate to get in touch with Cashier's Office personnel by phone at (808) 675-3724 or email at financialservices@byuh.edu.
