Refund Policy
Each registered Troy University student will receive a Trojan
OneCard. The Trojan OneCard will be mailed to the student using the address on file with the University. To receive any refunds
from the University, a student must activate his or her Trojan OneCard. During card activation, the student will choose how to receive
his or her refund money. Options available include having
the refund:
••• Directly deposited to the student’s Trojan OneCard
OneAccount (1 day or less)
The OneAccount from Higher One is a fully functioning,
FDIC insured, free checking account that allows a student to
access his or her refund quickly and easily. The OneAccount
has no minimum balance, no monthly fees, and free Internet
banking features. With the OneAccount, a student may use
his or her Trojan OneCard to make purchases anywhere Debit
MasterCard is accepted. The student will receive an e-mail
when a refund has been directly deposited to the OneAccount.
The student may view detailed activity of the OneAccount
by accessing the OneAccount Statement online at www.TrojanOneCard.com.
••• Deposited to another bank account of the student’s choice
(2-3 business days)
If a student chooses to have his or her refund deposited to
another bank account of choice, the transfer may take two to
three business days from the day the University releases the
funds. In order to have a refund deposited to his or her bank,
a student must first activate his or her Trojan OneCard at www.TrojanOneCard.com. For this option, the student will
need to complete, print and mail the third party form to the
designated address. The third party form is available on www.TrojanOneCard.com.
••• Mailed, as a paper check, to the address designated by the
student (5-7 business days)
A student may choose to receive his or her refund in the form
of a paper check. The paper check will be sent to the student
via regular mail and may take five to seven business days
from the day the University releases the funds.
Regardless of how students choose to receive their funds,
they need to activate their Trojan OneCards. Students are required
to activate their Trojan OneCards and make refund selections
online at www.TrojanOneCard.com.

All forms and contact information required to apply for
graduate student financial aid are available in the financial aid
section of the University website.
Students who, for any reason, register for classes but do not
attend MUST NOTIFY THE RECORDS OFFICE IN WRITING
TO WITHDRAW, PRIOR TO THE FIRST CLASS MEETING. Any student who fails to do so will be responsible for payment
of fees and will be charged with failing grades.
Transient Students and Financial Aid Availability
Transient students are not eligible for financial aid through
Troy University.
Withdrawals for Students Receiving Title IV Aid
In addition to Troy University's withdrawal policy, if a student
is a recipient of Title IV aid (Stafford Loans or Perkins
Loans, for example) federal regulations administered through the
U.S. Department of Education will apply. If a recipient of Title IV
aid withdraws during the term, the university will calculate the
amount of aid the student did not earn, and the unearned portion
will be returned to the Title IV programs. The student is responsible
for any charges which are unpaid as a result of the return of
Title IV funds.
Generally speaking, a student earns Title IV aid based on the
number of days completed during the term prior to withdrawal.
Once 60% of the term has been completed, the student is considered
to have earned 100% of the Title IV aid awarded.
A student who withdraws must complete the Exit Interview
Form (For any disbursed student loans, repayment begins six
months after you are no longer a half-time student).
Veterans Education Benefits
The following is a summary of the educational assistance that
the Department of Veterans Affairs offers to veterans, service
members, and their dependents. More detailed information is
available on our web site.

who entered active duty for the first time after July 1,
1985, and who agree to have their pay reduced $100 for

(Chapter 32) assists students who enlisted in the military
after December 31, 1976, and before July 1, 1985, who
contributed money to the educational fund.
- Vocational Rehabilitation (Chapter 31) provides assistance
to veterans who have a service-connected disability
and need vocational rehabilitation because his/her
disability creates an employment handicap.
- The Dependents’ Educational Assistance Program
(Chapter 35) provides education and training opportunities
to eligible dependents and survivors of certain veterans
who either died of, or are permanently and totally
disabled as the result of, a service connected disability.
The disability must arise out of active service in the
Armed Forces.
Application Procedures
Students who are eligible for educational benefits from the
Department of Veterans Affairs should contact the Troy University
VA specialist at their location to complete the necessary
forms. After all of the necessary forms and documentation are
submitted to the Troy University Financial VA specialist, the student’s
enrollment information will be certified to the Department
of Veterans Affairs. The Department of Veterans Affairs processes
claims 8 to 12 weeks after receiving the completed paperwork.
More detailed information is available on the VA section of
the financial aid section of the web site.
Payment Methods
The amount of money a student receives from the Department
of Veterans Affairs depends on which education program the
student is eligible for, how many hours of credit the student is
registered for, the length of the term, and, for retirees, the number
of dependents.
