Refund Request

Refund Information

Use this form to request a refund from Sheffield Hallam University.


General information for all refund types

Once you submit your request, we will review your account and payment method.

If you have refundable credit or a credit note, we will refund this amount unless you request a partial refund.

Refunds will be issued using the original payment method and will be returned to the same account used to make the payment to the University. Exceptions cannot be made.

Where multiple payments have been made, the most recent payment(s) that resulted in an overpayment will be refunded.

If a third party made a payment on your behalf, the refund will be issued to them. It is your responsibility to arrange repayment with the third party. The University is not responsible for transferring funds between a third party and you.

All refunds are issued in GBP.


Card refunds

If you paid by credit or debit card, your refund will be issued back to the same card.

If the card used to make the payment has expired, this does not normally cause a problem provided the issuing bank account is still open.

Once processed, funds are usually returned within 5-10 working days. Overseas payments may take longer.


Flywire refunds

If you paid using Flywire, your refund will be issued through the Flywire portal.

Flywire may contact you to verify your details. Once processed, funds are usually returned within 5-10 working days, although some currencies and payment methods may take longer.


Bank transfer (BACS) refunds

If you paid by bank transfer, an additional process will be needed to arrange your refund.

Proof of payment and verification of bank details (or those of a third party, if applicable) will be needed.

Bank transfer refunds can take several weeks to process and may take longer in some cases.
