Requesting a Refund in EMS

How to request a refund in Events Management System.

Event organizers are responsible for letting ANR Event Services know that an event participant needs a refund. Request a refund directly in Events Management System with the steps below.

  1. Navigate to the Registrant Roster.
  2. Search for the registrant that needs a refund. There should be a negative amount showing in the balance due column, indicated with parenthesis around the money amount.
  3. Click on "Payments" under the Actions column.

Please allow 2-3 days for refund processing. Events Management System will update credit card refunds within 5-10 minutes once processed. Registrants will see the credit on their bank statements with 24-72 hours once processing, depending on how quickly the bank posts it. Check refunds can take 4-8 weeks.

If the balance due does not disappear on the registrant roster right away, please do not submit multiple requests. If you have a question about a refund request or refund in process, please email ANR Event Services at events@anr.msu.edu.
