Accounting Services does not have the authority or access to register students for their classes. If you were dropped before the semester started, you will need to re-register for your classes on your own. Otherwise, contact Admissions and Records. If you can be re-enrolled into the class, you will be expected to pay for the course/courses immediately.

When funding is disbursed that means the funds are applied to your student account to pay for any outstanding balance. If funding is not enough to cover your balance, you will need to pay the remaining balance. If the funding exceeds the balance amount it will have to go through our refund process and you will either be mailed a check or have the funds direct deposited to the bank account (if you previously enrolled in the direct deposit process).

You are responsible for the original amount of payment and a $25 return payment, additionally a hold is placed that will not allow you to add or drop classes. As you now have a balance due, you may be subject to enrollment cancellation.

• Payroll direct deposit is available through Human Resources. It is used for student workers who would like direct deposit of their paycheck into their bank account.
• Student refund direct deposit is available for all students via MyTMCC for refunds for dropped classes or funds received from financial aid.

You can find this information online:

1. Log in to your Student Center in MyTMCC.
2. Under the "Finances" section, select "Other Financial" from the dropdown menu.
3. Choose "Charges Due" and click on the double arrows (>>)

Refunds are usually processed once a week, after financial aid funds have been applied to your student account, and only if funds remain available for a refund.

Refunds for dropped classes are issued after the third week of instruction.

There are several tax programs for TMCC students: the Hope Tax Credit, the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit, Employer-Provided Education Assistance and Student Loan Interest Deductions.

In January you will receive in the mail the IRS 1098-T itemizing tuition paid for the previous year. For more information, contact your tax advisor or visit the Financial Aid Office.

Students are responsible to drop their classes during the 100% refund period whether or not they attend the class. If you have extenuating circumstances, you may complete the Request for Exception to Refund Policy form and submit it to the Admissions and Records Office.

In 2011, the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Board of Regents discontinued the "Good Neighbor" tuition rate. If you had been attending TMCC using the "Good Neighbor" tuition rate continuously up to Fall 2011, you will be grandfathered in, so long as you continue attending TMCC continuously.

New students from qualifying "Good Neighbor" counties may apply for the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) rate.
