Registration
Although students register for classes with Point’s Registrar, their account standing with the Student Billing and Payment Center can affect their registration. An individual who has an outstanding balance to Point will not be allowed to register for classes, receive a transcript, or receive their diploma until their account is satisfied with Point University.
Financial Aid & Loans
All questions about financial aid should be directed to the Financial Aid Office. For federal Direct Loans, first-time borrowers must sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and complete Entrance Counseling. Loans will not disbursed to the student’s account until these two steps are completed.
Outside scholarship checks from corporations, private parties, or foundations should be sent directly to the Financial Aid Office at 817 3rd Ave, West Point, GA 31833. Financial Aid staff will apply the scholarship amount to the student’s financial aid for the academic year and forward to the Student Billing and Payment Center for crediting to the student’s account.
Tax Relief Act (1098-T) U.S. Tax Benefits
In accordance with IRS regulations the 1098-T will be available no later than January 31. Your 1098-T will be mailed to the current address on file no later than January 31. You will also receive your 1098-T electronically, this will allow access to your 1098-T as soon as it is available. You will receive an email from Transact Payments when your 1098-T is available.
Why did I not receive a 1098-T from Point University?
There are several possibilities:
- You are not eligible for a 1098-T
- If your financial aid (including scholarships and grants) was greater than your tuition and fee charges on your student account.
- Your 1098-T was mailed to the wrong address
- Your 1098-T may have been mailed to an old address, if you did not have a current address on file with the University. Please email us at Student.Billing@point.edu on how to receive a replacement form.
- You did not have a valid Social Security Number (SSN) on file
- IRS regulations specify that the University is not required to issue a 1098-T if a student does not have a SSN.
Student Refunds
If money you receive from awards, grants, scholarships, and loans exceeds the amount you are being charged for the term, the Student Billing & Payment Center will deliver your refund through BankMobile Disbursements, a technology solution, powered by BMTX, Inc. Students are required to select a refund preference.
The Student Billing & Payment Center reserves the right to withhold any refund when the student has an outstanding balance. Point University is authorized to offset any credit balances against any debts owed by the student to the university. Excess financial aid funds remaining on student accounts after book purchases will be issued when the money is received from the source by the University. These stipends will not be issued until Point is in possession of the funds.
Students will receive an information packet from BMTX, Inc. containing instructions on selecting a refund preference at the beginning of their first semester of study. Financial Aid Refund Disclosures
Financial Aid may appear on your bill in “anticipated” status. Aid is not officially disbursed until enrollment is verified. Credit balances and refund only generate based on actual fund disbursements after classes have started and attendance has been verified.
Parent Plus Refund Process
Receiving a parent plus refund by mail can take anywhere from one to three weeks to receive and sometimes more depending on the USPS. Direct Deposit is not offered for parent plus refunds.
NOTE: If you selected on the parent plus application that the refund can go to the student, the refund will be issued to the student through BankMobile Disbursements.
