Cash withdrawals may not exceed $50 per week. No more than two cash withdrawals may be made per week. Withdrawals of amounts greater than $50 are issued by direct deposit; requests can be made by using CedarInfo by selecting “Request a refund from your student account” under Financial Transactions . Refunds are issued within two to three business days of the request.

Students taking less than six credit hours may purchase the Student Health Insurance Plan. Married students may also purchase the Student Health Insurance Plan for their spouse and dependants.
