Several types of refunds generate from your student account. 

Financial aid refunds begin generating approximately one week before classes start each semester. Examples of financial aid refunds are:

• CR40 Title IV Financial Aid Refund - a refund generated from federal financial aid funds
• CR41 Title IV Plus Loan Refund - a refund generated to the student from a federal Parent Plus loan
• CR02 Title IV Plus Loan Refund-Parent - a refund generated to the parent from a federal Parent Plus loan
• CRS0 Non-Title IV FinAid Auto Refund - a refund generated from non-federal financial aid (e.g. scholarships, state grants, state loans, alternative loans, stipends/fellowships, etc.)

Student account refunds are generated from credits such as dropped classes, optional charges, or overpayment to the student account. Student account refunds begin after the add/drop period ends each semester. If a credit remains unrefunded on your student account for more than two business days after the add/drop period ends, please email us at refunds@tamu.edu. 

An example of a student account refund is:

• CRS3 Student Account Auto Refund
