Student Refunds
The Blinn College District has partnered with Flywire to provide a simple and quick way for students to receive refunds electronically. Students and Authorized Users can enroll in eRefunds.
How to Set Up Your Refund Method:
- Log into the Student Portal via myBLINN.
- From the “Student Applications” card, click on the “Student Refunds” link. This will direct you to the Flywire website.
- Click on the eRefund tab.
- Click on the “Enroll for eRefunds” button and select the appropriate link.
- Fill in the necessary information.
Be sure to set up your refund method in advance so you're prepared to receive any future refunds!
Authorized Users (AU):
eRefunds for Authorized Users can only be used for Parent PLUS Loans. Enrollment process for Authorized Users is identical to that of students, except the AU will provide the last four digits of their Social Security Number and their zip code when enrolling.
You may check your balance anytime by logging into your myBLINN portal. Select the “My Finances” tab, and “View Details.” As financial aid is credited to your account, it is applied to all the charges that exist on your account. If a credit balance remains after all charges are paid, you will be refunded the amount of the credit. All refunds are made through the refund method selection you make with Flywire. Once the refund has been sent to Flywire, it will show up on your myBLINN portal as a charge to your account that creates a zero balance.
- A disbursement is the process in which your aid is released to the school to pay towards your tuition and fees.

- Refunds will be released to the refund method that you have selected through Flywire (Direct Deposit or Paper check which may take longer to receive).

At the beginning of a semester, no refunds are processed until after the Day of Record (12th class day in a long semester; 4th class day in a summer session); it then takes 7 to 14 days for you to receive your refund. First-time borrowers will have their disbursements/refunds delayed and split. See Financial Aid for details. Refunds are issued on a set schedule with funds being processed through Flywire once a week initiated each Thursday. All refunds are processed through Flywire; Blinn College does not issue refund checks.
