Touchnet eRefund

Procedure on how to setup your eRefund profile on touchnet

Office of the Bursar

The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has transitioned to a new eRefunds Direct Deposit system through TouchNet.

To receive refunds quickly and securely, students must enroll in the new eRefunds system, even if Direct Deposit was previously established.

Refunds issued through Direct Deposit typically arrive up to 7 days faster than paper checks.

Who Needs to Enroll

Students

All NJIT students must enroll in the TouchNet eRefunds system to receive refunds electronically.

Authorized Users

Authorized users (such as parents, guardians, or sponsors) who have been granted access by a student must enroll in the TouchNet eRefunds system if they manage refund banking information. Authorized users can enter or update the bank account information where refunds should be deposited.

Important Notice

Students who do not enroll will receive refunds by paper check, which can delay delivery.
