BURSAR question.... kind of important.

<p>Has this happened to anyone ?</p>

<p>So I was paying my tuition balance via netpay and i guess somehow it registered twice. I had originally intended to pay the entire balance but double that amount was credited and now i have a significant credit balance. We can't afford to have that balance out of the checking account to which it was deducted from right now and I need whatever I overpaid to be reimbursed. </p>

<p>I'm sure that they have a reimbursement situation for mistakes like this, but my question is: is there any type of penalty or fee for this? They haven't been answering since thursday, and are obviously closed on the weekend. I will hopefully get in touch with them tomorrow, but just wondering if this has happened to anyone before.</p>

<p>I can't imagine there is any sort of penalty for a mistake like this...especially since you did pay the full balance.</p>

<p>I think that you should ask for a refund check (or sign up for direct deposit), and you should be fine.</p>

<p>Why don't you contact your bank to see if they could reverse it first. I have tried that once, instead of paying $75 on an utility bill, I paid $7500. The only thing is it has been a few days. They would be more likely to do it if it happened on the same day.</p>

<p>Cornell shouldn't charge you for it because they don't charge you extra when you pay out of your bank acct (they charge a fee for credit card payment). The only bad news is Cornell may be bureaucratic and take a while to re-issue the refund.</p>

<p>If you have a credit on your bursar account, they will issue you a refund check for the amount with no penalty. You can stop by Day Hall to pick up a check but sometimes it takes a little while for them to issue the check.</p>
