Disbursement and Refunds

• Disbursement is not the same as a refund.
• All Pell grants, other grants, and scholarships will be disbursed in full on first refund date of the semester.
• Student loans will be disbursed in two installments.
• Some students may not receive a refund during the first refund date of the semester if the first ½ of their loan is not enough to cover all charges.
• The Financial Aid Office and Student Account Office will not provide refund amounts to students via phone or in person.
• The Student Accounts Office cannot give students an exact date of the refund.
• Please make sure you have made your Refund Choice in myTC.
• Paper checks will be mailed to students that have not finalized a refund choice (mailed to the legal address on file at Texarkana College).

To be eligible for a refund, students must officially drop individual courses or completely withdraw from the College by the deadline in the Refund Schedule. Students may find the specific dates for the Refund Schedule online for each term. Specific provision of the Texas Administrative Code, Title 19, Part I, Chapter 21, Subchapter A, Rule 21.5 “Refund of Tuition and Fees at Public Community/Junior and Technical Colleges,” governs the refund schedule. Only the Texas Legislature or the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, authorized by the Legislature, can alter this schedule.

Certain fees are not refundable. Please check with the Student Accounts Office for specific fees. A class day is defined as any day which classes are held at the College – not just the particular class you are enrolled in and have dropped – (classes are normally Monday through Friday).

The College will process refunds only after completion of all other registration responsibilities.
