Will I receive a room and board credit if I move out of University Residences?

Yes. A credit of $750 will be applied to the current or future balance of the student account for all students who check out by or are not remaining in University Residences after March 30.  Any dining dollars remaining will be rolled over to fall at the end of the spring semester. This message provides more information.

What does my $750 credit cover?

The $750 credit covers both room and board. Any remaining dining dollars will be placed into a new account for Fall 2020. If a student is enrolled for the fall semester and will not be living in University Residences, they will still receive all unused dining dollars to use during the Fall 2020 semester.

Students who are graduating can request the $750 credit and Dining Dollar amount be refunded. If a student is graduating, work with the Bursar to manage your student account. Note that there may be financial aid requirements that need to be met prior to refunds being issued.

How do I receive my $750 room and board credit?

Any remaining dining dollars will be placed into a new account for Fall 2020. If a student is enrolled for the fall semester and will not be living in University Residences, they will still receive all unused dining dollars to use during the Fall 2020 semester. In order to be eligible for the credit, you needed to submit your survey response by March 24.

Students who are graduating will have the $750 credit and Dining Dollar amount refunded. For students who have a balance due, the credit will be applied to the outstanding balance on your account. If you are a graduating senior, or an international exchange student and do not owe a balance, a refund may be issued to you (after Division of Financial Aid review). If you are planning to continue in the Summer or Fall semester and do not owe a balance, then your credit will be held and applied to your future tuition & fees.

If you are a current Purdue University Residences student not returning to Purdue in  Fall 2020, you may request your dining dollar credit at mealplans@purdue.edu and it will be credited to your Bursar account and eligible for a refund after May 10, 2020.

If you have additional questions or need additional support in relation to your student account refund, please contact the Bursar at askbursar@purdue.edu.

When will we get our credit?

The $750 room and board credit will be applied to every resident who has checked out by or are not remaining in University Residences after March 30. Dining dollars will be rolled over at the end of the semester. The processing of the credit will happen in April on your account.  Please note that no late fees will be assessed the remainder of the school year. Further questions should be sent to askbursar@purdue.edu.

Will I get the credit if I don’t move out because I can’t travel right now for health and safety? 

If you are not on campus and cannot return to check out for health and safety reasons by March 30 and you completed your housing survey, the room and board credit will be applied once you check out.

What if I am graduating?  Will I still get the $750 room and board credit and my unused Dining Dollars?  

Students who meet the deadlines and who are confirmed to be graduating will be identified by the Bursar to receive these amounts refunded after the semester concludes. For students who have a balance due, the credit will be applied to the outstanding balance on your account. If you are a graduating senior, or an international exchange student and do not owe a balance, a refund may be issued to you (after Division of Financial Aid review). If you are planning to continue in the Summer or Fall semester and do not owe a balance, then your credit will be held and applied to your future tuition & fees.
