Request a Refund

If you overpaid your account, you can request a refund before the current term's main financial aid disbursement date. Learn more about non-financial aid refunds.
 

Am I eligible for a refund?

You may be eligible for a refund if you:

• Paid with personal funds without using financial aid. You must have paid in full on or prior to the current term's tuition due date. You must withdraw from classes within the refund period and before drop/add period has closed.
• Presented a valid Certificate of Residency to HACC for the current fiscal year that resulted in an overpayment on your account. 
   

How do I request a refund?

Request a refund by completing the Refund Request Form if you meet one of the above criteria. Submit your completed form to your Campus Welcome Center. All refund requests require HACC's approval.
 

How will I receive my refund?

HACC disperses funds in the following order:

1. To the credit card used for payment
2. To the student’s selected refund preference through BankMobile Disbursements, a technology solution, powered by BMTX, Inc. 
3. By check (limited circumstances)

3rd Party/Employer Contracts:
