Refund Information
What happens if I stop attending or withdraw from a class?
Did you know you may owe funds back to the Federal Government, even if you already received a refund? The Government may recalculate your financial aid due to class withdrawal or lack of class attendance. This could result in a balance due to HACC. You may experience financial holds if you owe a balance to HACC. These holds can prevent you from:
- Registering for classes
- Receiving your grades
- Getting copies of your transcript
When will I receive my financial aid refund?
| Spring 2025 | |
| February 13, 2025 | February 13, 2025 Initial spring financial aid refunds received for POT 1 and 2 classes** |
| February 24, 2025 | February 24, 2025 Financial aid refunds received for POT L classes** |
| April 4, 2025 | Financial aid refunds received for POT 3 classes** |

**HACC must verify your enrollment before we apply your financial award to your bill. Federal student loans will pay after students’ attendance is confirmed in the 6th eligible credit** |

Students who attend full-term and late start classes should begin to receive the Spring Pennsylvania State Grant awards beginning March 7, 2025. Students who are registered in later part of term courses will be reviewed after attendance is confirmed, and should begin receiving Spring Pennsylvania State Grant beginning April 15, 2025. ****NOTE: Pennsylvania State Grant awards are estimates until eligibility is determined after attendance is confirmed. Students should not calculate Pennsylvania State Grant awards to cover spring tuition.**** For more information about the PA State Grant, please click here. For more information, contact the Financial Aid Office. |

* Students receiving a loan for only one semester will receive two disbursements of loans at 50% each.
** Please do not contact HACC prior to date(s) noted above to ask about your financial aid refund. This slows the refund process.**
If you have questions about your refund preference, or need assistance with activating your BankMobile account, please contact the Bursar’s office at cashiering@hacc.edu.
How can I check my refund status with BankMobile Disbursements?
- Log into your profile.
- Select "Refund Status & History" in the sub-menu listed under the "Refunds" tab.
You can sign up for mobile text alerts to notify you when HACC disperses your refund. BMTX, Inc. will use your selected refund preference to disperse your refund.
What is the refund process?
- You may see your financial aid and refund disbursement transactions on your HACC account. This does not guarantee the refund process is complete.
- HACC processes financial transactions behind the scenes. We generate the refund file to send to BMTX, Inc.
- If you choose to have your financial aid refund deposited to an existing bank account, it may take an additional one-two business days for the receiving bank to credit the money to your account. If you open a BankMobile Vibe checking account (upon identity verification), money is deposited the same business day BMTX, Inc. receives funds from your school.
