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 on 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.

Refunds
A. Refund Options
When it comes to managing your money and receiving financial aid refunds, you deserve choices! Texarkana College will provide you with two choices on how to deliver your refund and to offer you smarter ways to manage that money.
All students need to make a refund choice.
Your choices will be:
- Direct deposit to your own checking or savings account – refund within 2 to 3 business days
- Paper check
B. FINANCIAL AID REFUNDS
Financial Aid funds are officially applied (disbursed) to your student account at set points during the semester. The census date may be different depending on the length of the term.
Once the financial aid funds are applied to your account, any balance must be paid in full by the student. If there are funds not used, this amount is refunded to the student. All of these issues depend on the student’s enrollment status, number of financial aid eligible hours enrolled, etc.
Student refunds are issued within 14 days of the disbursement of aid to the student account. This date is different for each semester and subterm.
Contact the Student Accounts Office at 903-823-3331 for financial aid refund dates. The financial aid disbursement date is not the same as a refund date.
