Refunds
Refunds will be made by BACS bank transfer at the end of your studies with the University upon completion and submission of the appropriate Print Credit Refund Application Form, which can be obtained here.
An administration charge of £1.00 is deducted from all print credit balances refunded. Refunds are therefore unavailable for print credit balances of less than £1.00.
In the event of a refund being requested, the University reserves the right to debit the full refund amount from your Print Credit account prior to the refund to your debit/credit card being completed.
Refunds against payment system errors or where you have unintentionally purchased multiple credits on the same day will normally be credited to the originating debit/credit card within five working days. The University undertakes no liability if this period is exceeded. Payment issues should be notified to print.unit@cumbria.ac.uk by email or by phone (01524 384315) Monday to Friday between the hours of 9.00am and 5.00pm.
Print credit refunds are only available to you at the end of your studies with the University, and will be refunded less the £1 administration charge by BACS into the bank account you nominate on your Print Credit Refund Application Form. The university does not operate cash refunds. If you have more than £1 print credit left at the end of your studies and would like a refund please complete the application form and email it from your university e-mail address (as proof of your identity) to print.unit@cumbria.ac.uk
