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
