Refunds
If you drop a class or your account shows a credit balance, here is how and when you will get your money back — and the census date deadline that determines whether a refund applies.

You can still drop a class through the first two-thirds of the semester, but tuition will not be refunded.
How and When Will I Get My Money?
A refund shows up on your account
This happens after a class drop, withdrawal, or when your financial aid or payments create a credit balance.
You choose how to receive it with BankMobile
Trinidad State College delivers refunds through BankMobile Disbursements, a technology solution powered by BMTX, Inc. Select your preferred refund method through your BankMobile account.
Your refund is issued within 14 days
Refunds are sent electronically within 14 days of showing up on your account, based on the preference you selected. If you do not choose a preference, a paper check will be mailed to the address on file when your BankMobile record was generated.
Important Information
- Refunds, including financial aid, go through BankMobile.
- Credit card payments will be refunded to the original card first, if eligible. The refund cannot exceed the original payment amount — excess funds will be processed through BankMobile.
- Payment plan enrollment fees are not refundable, no matter when a student drops or withdraws from a class.
