You will receive your refund 4 to 21 days after a payment appears on your MyVCCCD portal account, depending on the payment method you chose and the date your classes begin. The date noted on your MyVCCCD portal is an internal processing date ONLY. Please be aware this is NOT the disbursement date for your funds. Your payment schedule reflects a full-time enrollment assumption. If you are not enrolled full-time, the amount you will receive will be less and prorated based on your actual enrollment.
Aid is disbursed to students based on attending hours. Therefore, the start date of your classes will dictate how much you will receive in each of your disbursement(s).
If you are registered and meet all financial aid eligibility requirements for your disbursement AND:
- You are registered and ALL of your classes begin on the first day of the semester, your first disbursement is scheduled and the specific date that disbursement beings is available on your portal after all chargers are paid.
- Your enrollment includes a combination of classes that start on the first day of the semester AND classes that start later in the semester, you may receive a partial first disbursement* of financial aid, if eligible, the first week of the semester. The remainder of the first disbursement will disburse approximately 14 days after your next class(s) begins.
- You are ONLY enrolled in late start classes (meaning those that start after the first day of the semester), your financial aid disbursement(s)* will occur approximately 14 days after each late start class begins.
Please note, students must be registered in ALL of their classes, regardless of when they begin, prior to the Pell Recalculation Date of the semester in order for those courses to count toward your financial aid enrollment status. Courses registered in after this date cannot be considered for federal financial aid funding.
All students should allow 14 days after payment appears on your MyVCCCD portal account to receive your refund.
