UW-Parkside E-Refunding
UW-Parkside partners with BankMobile, which is a third party vendor, to deliver refunds via your preferred method. Please take some time to read BankMobile Disbursements website to set up your refund preference and understand their process.
Newly enrolled UW-Parkside students can expect email and mail communications from BankMobile regarding the university’s refunding process.
- Email from BankMobile with a subject line that states “Your school may have money for you!” Be aware this is not a spam/phishing email and there’s potentially not a refund for you at this time. The email from bankmobile@bankmobilewebemail.com is designed to grab your attention so you’ll set up your refund preference.
- Mailed a green envelope from BankMobile containing a personal code, this personal code is needed to set up your refund preference.
It’s important that you set up your refund preference, to ensure timely return of refunds. BankMobile’s timeline differs significantly for students who have not set up refund preference. UW-Parkside submits refunds to be processed each Wednesday.
