Refund Policy & Process

Refund Policy

It is Black Hawk College’s policy to apply all awarded grants, scholarships and/or loans toward a student’s balance due before being eligible for a refund. A student’s balance due can include: past due tuition, fees, returned checks, fines or other obligations. A student may receive a refund after his/her balance due is paid in full and funds still remain available on the account. Refunds are made payable to the student and are processed by the Bursar’s Office.

Refund Process

BankMobile DisbursementsMost refunds will be disbursed through BankMobile Disbursements, via the student’s selected refund preference. Our school delivers your refund with BankMobile Disbursements, a technology solution, powered by BMTX, Inc. Visit this link for more information.

Debit and Credit Card Payment Refunds

If any debit and/or credit card payments were made through the student’s myBHC account during the semester, the Bursar’s Office is required to first disburse refunds back to the original card used. If a refund due to the student is larger than what was paid electronically, then the Bursar’s Office will issue the remainder of the refund via the BankMobile Disbursement process.

Additional Items to Keep in Mind

  • The deadline may be on the weekend. If so, please email registrar@yishabeier.net with the information regarding the class you would like to drop. If the date stamp on your email is before the deadline, it will be processed on the next business day and considered to be dropped by the deadline.
  • Check your myBHC account within a day or two to be sure the drop was processed.
  • You may exchange the same number of credit hours during a refund period at no additional charge. Example: If you drop ENG 101 and add PSYC 101, you will not owe any additional tuition or fees.
