Student Refunds
Starting October 1, 2026, student refunds will be issued via Chase Concourse. Options and preferences for receiving refunds will no longer be managed via the MyWilmU Payment Center.
WilmU partners with Chase Concourse (J.P. Morgan Chase) to issue refund payments for financial aid or other purposes.
Most refunds due to students will use this method, including:
- Financial Aid refunds (see Financial Aid refund policy)
- Tuition refunds (from dropping or modifying your courses)
- Any other money due to you from WilmU

Refund of Credit Balances
A refundable credit balance may occur on your WilmU student account because of overpayments; account adjustments; financial aid and loan payments. If the credit balance is a result of an overpayment made by check or electronic check, the refund will not be processed for at least ten business days to permit time for check to clear the bank.
- Should the credit balance result from a credit card payment, the credit card will be refunded up to the amount of the payment. Kindly contact the Payment Office to request a refund and to provide the credit card information, studentpayment@wilmu.edu or (877) 967-5464.
- Credit balances created by financial aid and loan payments are issued following the disbursement of financial aid each term. Please refer Transfer and Refund Dates below. If a refund check (paper check) is never cashed, Wilmington University must return the funds to the Department of Education within 240 days of the original refund issue date. If funds are returned, WilmU is unable to reissue the Title IV funds returned.
- Credit balances created by wire transfers (Domestic or International) are subject to return to the originating bank.
