Any refund under $4.00 will be issued only upon request by the student. Student refunds may be claimed by NWTC to pay outstanding student debts or by the Financial Aid Office to cover grant repayments and outstanding student loans. All students receiving financial aid or enrolled in at least six credits will be mailed a Bank Mobile Refund Selection Packet to the current address on file with the College approximately one week after initial registration. It is a student’s responsibility to keep contact information current with the College. This packet is the key to receiving any refunds from NWTC. Upon receiving the Bank Mobile Refund Selection Packet, students must visit Refundselection.com and enter the personal code provided in the packet to activate and select their refund preferences. The refund options include electronic deposit to another account, electronic deposit to a BankMobile Vibe account, or paper check delivered by USPS.
