Refunding Recipients

Two types of recipients can receive refunds: students and organizations. In Student Financials, the recipient refers to the type of account being refunded and does not necessarily indicate the person or organization that actually receives the refund. For example, a student withdraws from a class and is due to receive a refund. However, a nonstudent sponsor originally paid the student's tuition fees and should therefore receive the refunded money. Although the sponsor receives the actual refund, it is still considered a student refund in terms of how you create and distribute it.
