How Do I Close My Red Hawk Dollars Account?<\/div>

\nStudent Red Hawk Dollars Accounts are closed automatically upon graduation and withdrawal from the University. Balances of $5.00 or more are credited to Nest after spring graduation. Balances less than $5.00 are not refunded.\n

All University debts must be satisfied prior to a refund being processed.\u00a0 When an account is closed, credit is placed back into the student’s billing statement via NEST. This credit will either be processed into a refund or reduce an account balance owed.<\/p>\n

If the account has a zero balance due, the credit will be processed into a refund check by the Student Accounts Office and mailed to your address on file. If you have direct deposit, your credit will be sent to the account you have on file.<\/p>\n

Please contact Red Hawk Central (redhawkcentral@montclair.edu<\/a>) for details about receiving payment on account credit. You can also check your NEST account to see when and if that refund has been processed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
