Refund Due (Anticipated Financial Aid GREATER than Estimated Charges)

Bookstore Financial Aid Advance: As a service to eligible financial aid recipients, Georgia State University offers

students the opportunity to use financial aid funds as an advancement to purchase books and supplies from the

Georgia State University Bookstore only. The advancement is deducted from your financial aid award along with

tuition and fee charges. Please visit the financial aid website at

for more information.

Be sure to enroll in the PantherCard Money Network® Refund Option if you will have a refund due for the semester.

Your Money Network® Enabled PantherCard gives you anytime, anywhere purchasing power with the functionality

and security of a bank-issued, prepaid card. Your financial aid and payroll can be automatically delivered to your

Money Network® Account in less time than waiting for a check to arrive in the mail or clear in your traditional bank

account. It's fast, safe and convenient! Refunds are processed after add/drop for the term is over. Visit the Student

Account website for specific dates:

Step 1: Get a Money Network® Enabled PantherCard

Your PantherCard must have the Discover logo on the front. If you have an older version of the PantherCard, you

must visit the PantherCard Office to exchange/replace your card.

Step 2: Activate your Money Network® Enabled PantherCard

Your account must be activated in order for it to work. Wait an hour after you have been issued your PantherCard

before you call 1-800-822-4283 and follow the system's prompts. Remember your PIN — you will need it to make

PIN-debit purchases, ATM withdrawals and to access your account when calling Customer Service.

Step 3: Authorize Student Accounts to deposit your refund to your Money Network® Account

Follow these steps to authorize our office to deposit your student account refund to your PantherCard Money

Network® account:

1. Log into PAWS at

https://paws.gsu.edu

2. Select the "One Stop Shop" tab

3. Select the "Financial Aid" folder from the GoSOLAR menu

4. Select the "Authorizations" link

5. Select "Authorize" from the dropdown menu under the "PantherCard Money Network® Authorization"

section

Balance Due (Anticipated Financial Aid LESS than Estimated Charges)

The eBill for your fall, spring, and summer tuition, fees, and housing charges will be posted online in July,

November, and May respectively. Payment is due in full by the date indicated on the semester calendar maintained

by the Registrar’s office (visit ).

Make sure you mark your calendar with the due date so you don’t forget! Paying your eBill is the last step in the

enrollment confirmation process for the term. Your financial aid requirements should be complete at least five

days before the payment deadline so that your aid will pay your charges by the deadline. If you apply for

financial aid late or complete requirements late, please be prepared to pay your balance due with another method by

the payment deadline . If payment of your student account balance is not received in full by the due date, you

will be eligible to have your registration for the term canceled.
