Credits resulting from dropped/cancelled classes, and/or arising from over payments, where the original payment was made through credit card, will be refunded to the same credit card after the official date of record or earlier upon student request to bursar.refunds@hccs.edu. Those resulting from cash, checks, and money order will be reimbursed through BankMobile Disbursements.

Credit resulting from Financial Aid awards or scholarships shall be refunded through the students selected refund preference. It is generally processed within 14 days after the aid has been released to the student account. 

Amount of refunds for withdrawals are determined in accordance with the Drop and Withdrawal Refund Schedule based on total semester fees. If the student has established a payment plan, any remaining installment payments due are deducted from the refund amount. Any reduction in the balance due to a withdrawal will be adjusted on the remaining installments.

Course withdrawal does not release the student from the obligation to pay any balance owed to the College. One hundred percent (100%) refund of ALL tuition and fees will be made ONLY when a class does not make or a college error is involved.
