When borrowing money for school, this can often include funds for living expenses, in addition to tuition costs. Schools will typically provide guidelines around an estimated cost to attend.
Some loan providers will pay your school directly, to ensure this money is used for educational expenses. The school then refunds any excess funds, minus the tuition costs, back to you to help cover qualified expenses including housing/rent, food, textbooks, course supplies and other incidentals.
Adding your account information
To receive refunds directly into your Adro account, you’ll need to add your account information to your school’s financial system. Here’s a general guide:
Log in to your student portal: Most universities have an online portal where you manage your finances
Navigate to the financial section: Look for sections like “Student Accounts,” “Billing,” or “Financial Services”
Find the direct deposit option: There should be an option to set up direct deposit for refunds
Enter your bank details: You’ll need your account number and the routing number. Make sure to double-check these details to avoid any errors.
Save and confirm: Follow the prompts to save your information and confirm the setup
If you have any trouble, your university’s financial aid office or student services can provide assistance.
You can find this information in Adro by following these steps:
Login to your account
Select the account you wish to receive funds in
Click 'View account details'
Once you've provided those details to your school, be sure to login to Adro and confirm your refund payment was received correctly by the expected payment date.
