For a hassle-free experience, visit the Student Accounts Office during business hours to make your tuition and fee payments securely.

If you have financial aid and have received confirmation from the Texarkana College Financial Aid Office that your award has been processed, you can view your awards online. Once finalized, Financial Aid will be applied directly to your Student Account, eliminating the need for in-person paperwork transfers. Your financial aid will automatically post as a payment toward tuition and fees.

Be sure to log in and review your Student Account to verify that all charges and financial aid awards have been applied correctly. If you notice any discrepancies, contact the appropriate office for assistance. If your financial aid exceeds your charges, you will receive a refund.

Check Your Financial Aid Status on the Financial Aid portal.

Payments Using Exemptions and Waivers

Texas state law requires students receiving tuition and fee exemptions or waivers to make satisfactory academic progress toward completing a degree or certificate. At Texarkana College, students must meet the Financial Aid Standards of Academic Progress (FA SAP) to continue receiving these benefits.

Payments Using Third-Party Referrals

If a Third Party (such as Texas Rehab, WIA, or other agencies) is covering your tuition and fees, Texarkana College must receive the necessary paperwork (referral) from the agency before the payment deadline. It is your responsibility to ensure the agency submits this document to the Texarkana College Business Office on time.

Once received, the Business Office will apply the referral as a payment to your Student Account based on the amount covered by your Third Party.

Review Your Student Account

Log in to your Student Account to confirm that your charges, exemptions, waivers, or Third-Party payments have been applied correctly. If you notice any discrepancies, contact the Business Office or your Third Party provider for assistance.

Certain fees are not refundable. Please check with the Student Accounts Office for specific fees. A class day is defined as any day 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.

To make a refund choice, log in to your myTC account. You have two choices when you log in:

1. Have your refund go to your own personal bank account; or
2. Receive a paper check mailed to the address on file with Texarkana College.

Please make sure you keep your address current and if you move, notify Enrollment Services office at Texarkana College.

Unlike grant aid, Texarkana College disburses all student loans in two payments per semester rather than just one. Students will receive refunds from the first half of their loans a little over a month after school begins. Refunds for the second half of student loans will occur shortly after midterm.

Grant and scholarship aid disbursements will not be affected by this change.

The College will process refunds only after completion of all other registration responsibilities.

• 100% refund – Prior to the first class day (less $15 matriculation fee)
• 70% refund – First through fifteenth class day
• 25% refund – Sixteenth through twentieth class day

The Official “Last Day to Drop” is not the same as dropping a class and being eligible for a refund. Contact Student Accounts for dates applicable to your semester and drop date to see if you might be eligible for a refund. Dates and percentages vary depending on the length of the semester.

Any term other than a 16-week term will have refund dates adjusted according to state refund policies.

Please look online for term specific refund dates or contact Student Accounts.

If you are on the Installment Payment Plan and have not made all installments, your refund may apply to any outstanding payments.
