ATTENTION STUDENTS — – We are excited to announce that the Student Accounts Office has a new process to request refunds of a credit balance on your account. Please use this link, Refund Request Form, log in using your GMU single sign-on, and proceed through the steps to request your refund. With this new method, we will leave behind the outdated paper request form, walk you through some important steps to ensure your refund makes it to you, and enhance the user experience to automatically let you know the status of your form once account review begins. If you have recently submitted a paper form, please click the link above and submit a request using the new process as paper forms are no longer being processed. For future requests, you can still navigate to the Refund Request Form on our website and it will route you to the correct place.

We look forward to seeing you at Mason, whether in person or virtually, and are here to assist where we can. If you need assistance related to a Student Accounts Office question (tuition/fee charges, payment information, 1098-T), your first stop is the Mason Student Services Center. The MSSC team is cross trained to provide help to new and continuing students on matters related to billing, as well as registration, enrollment, financial aid, academic records and other student support services.

MSSC services are available on both a walk-up and virtual basis. For more information, please select how you would like to be serviced below:
