Federal Refund Policy

Students who receive any form of Federal Title IV Student Financial Aid and withdraw from classes before completing 60 percent of the semester may be required to repay a prorated portion of the federal aid they received. Also, if a student is enrolled in a class that does not run the entire semester and withdraws or stops attending, a return of funds may be required.

Student refunds are available by direct deposit or by check. Checks are mailed and can no longer be picked up at the Business Office.

When a refund is being processed, students will receive an email notification to their MCC student email address. The notification will include the date your direct deposit will be deposited into your bank account, or when your refund check will be mailed.

  • No mailing delays due to change of address or forwarding orders.
