How will I receive my Financial Aid Refund?

Refunds are processed through 'direct deposit' or paper check.  Students can sign up for direct deposit through their Self-Service Account - "Banking Information".  If there is no direct deposit, a paper check will be mailed on the scheduled refund date.  Students are encouraged to check their Self-Service account to make sure the address on record is correct.  If the address is not correct, students may contact the Business Office via email indicating their student ID # and mailing address for the purpose of mailing a refund check - please note that the request must come from the student's SCC e-mail account for security purposes.
