What happens to the credit balances in my account?

• All credits at the end of the academic year must be returned to NSFAS.
• The financial aid and scholarships office will process these as a charge to the fee statement in order to clear the credit in the fee account.
• If these are not processed at the end of the academic, they will still be processed in the following year.
• The university has an obligation to return these funds to NSFAS.
