GARP (Global Automated Refund Process) vs Mid-Year Refund Process
Global's Automated Refund Process is an web-based interface that allows a spreadsheet upload(s) from the institution for a timely and accurate processing of refunds for sending funds back to the G5 system. The GARP website also updates SAINT Director and COD records.
***Important***
You will ONLY include students on the GARP spreadsheet if their funds paid through SAINT Director
The adjacent slides will provide a step-by-step guide to completing the GARP spreadsheet and uploading the spreadsheet onto the GARP website.
If funds were NOT paid through SAINT Director, then those funds MUST be returned via the Mid-Year Refund Spreadsheet. The adjacent slides on will walk you through the process of completing the Mid-Year Refund spreadsheet and emailing it to Refunds@globalfas.com email address. Please make sure the spreadsheet is password protected.
You are permitted to place a non-password protected version of the Mid-Year spreadsheet on the SFTP site. Please send email to Refunds@globalfas.com to advise location on SFTP site and name of file(s).
