This is an important notice regarding student refunds issued by the Student Financial Services Office.

Effective August 5, 2024, student refunds will be handled digitally through JP Morgan Chase. Refund recipients will receive a notification email to their @stonybrook.edu email account from "donotreply@jpmorgan.com" that looks similar to the image on the right. All students, even those who previously set up a Direct Deposit preference through their SOLAR account, will be asked to set up a direct deposit preference and will have five (5) business days to Accept the Refund and enter their preferred bank account information. If a Direct Deposit Account is not set up within five (5) business days, the refund will be issued and mailed to the student as a paper check to the home address in your SOLAR account.

Helpful Tip
Students who are anticipating a refund should consider adding “donotreply@jpmorgan.com” as a trusted sender in their email account as well as designate their @stonybrook.edu email address as “preferred” under their SOLAR ‘Security and Personal Data’ page.
