Federal Regulation: Cash Management

In accordance with the U.S. Department of Education, on October 30, 2015, new cash management regulations were published via the Federal Register (34CFR668.161-167).

The Program Integrity and Improvement rules require the Saint Louis University to account for, and disburse Federal Title IV funds in accordance to these regulations. This information is published to comply with these regulatory reporting requirements.

As provided by U.S. Bank, no later than September 1, 2017, and each year after, any institution with a T1 arrangement and any institution with a T2 arrangement that meets or exceeds the credit balance thresholds under 34 CFR 668.164(f)(2)(ii) must post certain information prominently on the same website where the institution posts its full contract with a financial account provider. The institution must disclose:

a)   The number of students who had financial accounts under the contract at any time during the most recently completed award year; and 
b)   The mean and median costs incurred by those student accountholders.

On March 23, 2001, Saint Louis University (SLU) entered a banking services agreement with U.S. Bank. The agreement, and subsequent amendments, do not include services for handling student related Title IV credit balance refunds. However, since many SLU students bank with U.S. Bank, the U.S. Department of Education requires that we publish the contract for public review by Sept. 1, 2016 (See below).

SLU is contracted to market and directly offer enrolled students the option to open an account with U.S. Bank. While your SLU ID includes the U.S. Bank logo, you are not obligated or required to open or maintain a financial account with U.S. Bank; nor are you required to open or maintain a financial account with U.S. Bank in order to receive your refund via direct deposit. You are also not required to obtain an access device offered by or through U.S. Bank. (Federal Regulations [668.164 (d),(e), (f)].). SLU encourages you to research a financial institution that best fits your financial situation and needs.

This information is included in the University's annual disclosure that is communicated to all enrolled students each academic year. For more information, view the contract established with U.S. Bank

Note that all future disclosures relating to these new regulations and banking services contract will be made to this webpage.
