The University of Dallas has partnered with technology and payment services provider Higher One to offer a more efficient process to distribute financial aid refunds and other disbursements to its students.

Up until now the university issued refunds to students by paper check. Staffs were assigned the labor-intensive task of printing, stuffing, addressing and mailing the paper checks to students. And students were required to wait however long while this process took place.

Using Higher One’s OneDisburse Refund Management system the university will send a file to Higher One, including student names and the total amount of each refund.

Students may choose from several options as to how they wish to receive their refunds including a direct deposit to a bank of their choosing, or to a Higher One provided account.
