Bursar's Refund to an International Bank

If you would like a refund and have an international bank account, we can process a wire transfer or mail a check to your address. Please complete the two forms below and return to [email protected]

Account Credit Balance

If a credit balance results from Federal Title IV programs (Direct Loans, Perkins, Pell Grants and SEO Grants) as defined by the U.S. Department of Education, the refund will be credited automatically to the Student Bursar's Account. If the refund is created by a PLUS Loan, a refund check will be mailed to the parent obtaining the loan, unless we receive written authorization from the parent to issue the check to the student.

Refund of General Deposit

Upon graduation or withdrawal from Caltech, the general deposit will be applied to the student's account. Any surplus will be refunded within 60 days.
