If what you mean by “it says” is that the CARS balance = $0, don’t worry. They don’t process refunds for a long time after they process the fee payment, and it’s not really reflected anywhere until they go ahead and cut a check for the difference. Have you set up an EFT? If you have, 1-2 days after they tell you you’re eligible for a refund, they’ll deposit it into the linked account. If you haven’t, once they’ve told you you’re eligible for a refund, you’ll need to head to Billing to pick up a check.

If it would make you feel better, you can call the Financial Aid Office and ask them directly. The best option would be to go in person, and then they can show you a detailed view of your account, including what you were charged (itemized), what paid into it, and how much money is remaining.
