PEOPLESOFT REFUND PROCESS: Student refunds for credit card payments in PeopleSoft are refunded back to the credit card. These refunds are processed by KCTCS each Thursday.

Student refunds for cash or check payments in PeopleSoft are refunded thru the Bank Mobile process. Students will have to activate their Bank Mobile account and select a refund choice.

THIRD PARTY: A third-party contract should be established and the student attached to that contract with payment from the third party posting to the contract as well.

Third Party credit card refunds are a manual process. The Business Office will gather the following information and send it to System Office, who then processes the refund on the third-party contract and to the third party’s credit card that was used to make the original payment:

Date of original payment
Org ID
Student ID
Contract #
Refund amount

Third party refunds for cash or check payments will need a completed BA850 with documentation using chart string below. Documentation should include a copy of the original payment, a copy of the students’ schedule and bill, and a copy of the third-party account. The BA850 should be routed to the Business Office for processing.
