Higher One will use its OneDisburse Refund Management system to provide the refunds. A file including student names and the total amount of each refund will be sent from Harrison to Higher One. Students have several ways to receive their refunds including direct deposit. Students will have access to mobile alerts, email notifications and the ability to pay their bills online. Parents also are able to deposit money onto the student’s card. [end]
