Refund Policy

Spring 2010

Refunds include scholarship checks, financial aid related checks and refunds for dropped classes. To improve the refund delivery process, Georgia Perimeter College is partnering with Higher One, a financial services company that exclusively serves higher education. The banking services of Higher One are designed to specifically meet the needs of college students.

What does this mean for GPC students?

Every student will receive a GPC MasterCard Debit card in the mail. The card is not a credit card. Students will need to activate the GPC Debit card and choose how they want their refund delivered. You may choose from three options:

n Refund deposited directly to the student GPC Debit card;

n Refund deposited to another bank account of their choice;

n Refund by paper check processed by Higher One and sent through the U.S. mail.

It is the student’s responsibility to verify that his or her correct address is on file with the college.

The college is very excited about improving the refund process for our students. To learn more about Higher One, you may visit www.HigherOne.com and for GPC’s program you can visit www.GPCone.com.
