Disbursements and Refunds; Register For Classes

Go to:

Step 4: Disbursements and Refunds

Dallas College will begin disbursing funds after your classes have been certified.

Any eligible refunds are released to students after the certification date, which occurs after the 12th day of classes for 16-week classes or after the sixth class day for flex-term classes or eight-week classes. This means that you must be certified as attending in your credit class(es) by your professor.

Visit the academic calendar to view attendance certification dates by semester: Catalog.DallasCollege.edu.

Step 5: Register For Classes

You must be certified as attending your classes by your professors to be eligible for financial aid funds.

Any tuition or fees you owe will be deducted from your financial aid at certification date. If there are any remaining eligible funds, they will be disbursed to your account via the Touchnet Payment Center (requires Workday login). DallasCollege.edu/Disbursement
