Room and Board FAQ
Will I be receiving a credit for the remainder of my housing/meal plan for the semester?
UToledo worked with the Office Student Financial Aid and the State of Ohio to determine the most appropriate way to credit students for housing and dining fees for the remainder of the semester. Residential students that checked out of housing on or before March 25 will receive a credit to their student account as follows, and any unused Rocket dollars will be refunded at the end of the semester:
- Residential students with a meal plan will receive a up to $1,230 credit;
- Students living in McComas Village without a meal plan will receive a up to $750 credit;
- Students with a commuter meal plan will receive a up to $200 credit.
- Honors Academic Village students with a meal plan may receive a credit of up to $350. This is for the meal plan only.
What if I am not planning to live on campus during the Fall, can I switch the credit to a different term?
Your options are:
- Apply credit to your Fall 2020 Housing
- Apply credit to your Fall 2020 Meal Plan
- Apply credit to your Spring 2020 student account (a refund will be generated after institutional aid, non-refundable aid, any balances owed, and federal student financial aid are recalculated/adjusted)
When do I need to make decision?
All decisions need to be made and the request form submitted by April 10, 2020.
How do I report my decision?
All requests needed to be submitted by April 10, 2020
What if I change my mind on my decision?
No changes will be permitted after April 10, 2020.
What happens if I still have a balance due for Spring 2020?
If you select "Apply to my Spring 2020", then the credit will be applied to your current balance first.
- If a balance exists after the credit is applied, students will be responsible for the remaining balance.
- If the balance is less than the credit amount, a refund may result after UToledo aid, non-refundable aid, and federal and state student financial aid are taken into consideration.
When will I receive my refund?
The University will begin to process refunds the week of April 20, 2020. To help us expedite your refund, please make sure your Direct Deposit information is up to date on your myUTPortal and make sure your address is correct.
