Refunds and Return of Funds
If you have a financial aid award prior to the start of the semester or summer term,
tuition and fees will be deducted from your award approximately ten (10) days before
the first day of classes. Although financial aid will not pay your tuition any earlier
than ten days before classes begin, you will not be dropped for failure to pay on or
before your tuition due date if a financial aid award has posted to your student file.
To confirm that your award has posted, access the
eConnect Student Menu
and log in to the “My Financial Information” section. After tuition and
fees are paid and if there are no blocks on your student record, an initial amount, not
to exceed $700, will be distributed to you for the purchase of books and supplies. The
remaining funds, if eligible for release, will be disbursed after the
financial aid lock date.
All disbursements/refunds to credit students from the DCCCD are made electronically
through the
DCCCD Money Card
program. To avoid delays in receiving your money, verify your contact information on
eConnect
(log in required) and set up an activation word. After you verify your information, you
can expect your card to arrive in the mail within five to seven business days. As soon as
you receive your card, use it to access the
DCCCD Money Card Web site and activate your disbursement/refund
preference.
For more information about the card, please go to

For information on the return of federal Title IV Funds Policy, see the
college catalog.
Find additional information regarding refunds and return of funds on the
DCCCD Web site.
