Customers have several options:

1. You can return your budget card to the Parking & Transportation customer service counter. If you have a balance, they will process a credit back to your credit card on the spot. (You must have your credit card with you to get the refund.)
2. You can request a refund via check by submitting a request to [email protected] or visiting the Parking & Transportation customer service counter on the second floor of the Bookstore Building, right above Chick-fil-A.
