Thank you for your patience as we navigate complex new challenges presented by the global spread of COVID-19. As announced March 20 by Creighton President the Rev. Daniel S. Hendrickson, SJ, PhD, the University will offer a room-and-board credit to residential students who have vacated the residence halls for the spring 2020 semester.

Qualifying full-time undergraduate, graduate and professional students also will receive a blanket $250 refund for student fees.

Room-and-board credits are standard for residential students but will vary slightly due to the meal plan the student selected. Students should expect the credit to follow the schedule below:

Complete Refund Schedule On-Campus Housing & Traditional Meal Plan $1,600 On-Campus Housing & Apartment 7 Meal Plan $1,375 On-Campus Housing & Flex 85 Meal Plan $1,250 On-Campus Housing & Flex 65 Meal Plan $1,175 On-Campus Housing & No Meal Plan $925 Off Campus Student Traditional Meal Plan $675 Off Campus Student Apartment 7 Meal Plan $450 Off Campus Student Flex 85 Meal Plan $325 Off Campus Student Flex 65 Meal Plan $250

When Will I Get My Credit/Refund?

Refunds will look different for each student depending on their financial arrangement with Creighton.

Students who left campus by March 23, received a prorated credit according to the refund schedule above.

Credits/refunds will be applied to qualifying students’ accounts.

If a student has a current balance due, credits/refunds will be applied to that balance.

All students must sign up for direct deposit to receive a credit/refund if you have not previously done so.

If a student would like to redirect all or part of their credit/refund to the COVID-19 Student Emergency Fund, please fill out the form, and University Relations will provide a charitable gift receipt for your contribution.

Direct Deposit Instructions:

Here are the steps to Sign up for Direct Deposit:

Login into the NEST Select: Students Accounts Select: Sign up for Direct Deposit Refunds Select: Start and then enter your bank routing and account number Select “Submit.” Read through the Direct Deposit Agreement, print a copy for your records, and select “I Agree” at the bottom of the page.

Once a student has signed up for direct deposit, the authorization is valid indefinitely and only needs to be updated if bank account information changes.
