ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø

The Federal Direct PLUS Loan allows a parent to borrow money for the educational expenses of a child who is a dependent undergraduate student enrolled at least half-time.  Federal Parent PLUS Loans may create a credit on a student account. This credit can be refunded to the student or the parent. The parent borrower makes the selection on the PLUS loan application.

If the parent borrower chooses to have any credit balance refunded to them, there are two options for receiving that refund:

• Parents may sign up for electronic refunds using the checking or savings account of the parent’s choice. Signing up for electronic refunds is simple, convenient, and secure.
  

• Parents who do not sign up for electronic refunds will have a check mailed to the address on the plus loan application.  Please note, checks are printed once a week and it could take two cycles to have your check generated.

Federal Parent PLUS Loan borrowers may set up an electronic refund account using an existing bank account of their choice.  The process to set up electronic refunds is as follows:

1. Log in to the site
2. Complete Personal Profile
3. Complete Payment Profile
4. Complete Security Setting
   NOTE: Make sure to check the box under Refund Options to authorize refunds to be deposited electronically.

Parents may also change the bank account that is linked to their ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø refund at any time on this site as well. There are no preselected refund options for ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø parent borrowers.
