Reimbursement Process
The SEVIS fee reimbursement will be made according the reimbursement timeline via a credit of funds (the value of the paid SEVIS fee) to the UO student billing account, accessible in DuckWeb.
Provided the student billing account has no balance due, the full reimbursement will be refunded to the student. Those who have direct deposit set up on their student billing accounts will receive the reimbursement, less any balance due, via their bank account.
* The SEVIS Fee Reimbursement is a new provision of the 2014-16 UO-GTFF Collectibe Bargaining Agreement, which took effect December 19, 2014. Salary and benefits (tuition, fees, and insurance) are in place retroactively to September 16, 2014.
