Yes, you can borrow additional funds in excess of your charges at Tufts to cover books and/or other living expenses. If you have financial aid in excess of your charges, you can request a refund through your SIS account. We encourage you to sign up for BankMobile (through SIS), a company Tufts has partnered with that will transfer your refund into your bank account of choice. If you do not enroll for BankMobile, a check will be mailed to you (may take up to 21 days to be processed).
Refunds will not be available until after the add/drop period, so you may need to plan in advance for any out-of-pocket expenses such as books, living expenses, and/or immersion fees.
