Starting July 1, 2026, federal loan amounts will be based on your enrollment level. If your credit hours change after your loan is disbursed, your loan amount may be adjusted in a future semester. Visit austincc.edu/FAupdates to learn more.
Grants and loans are disbursed beginning the first week of the session/semester. However, due to the high volume of students receiving aid at the same time, it may take 1-2 weeks before you receive your disbursement. Click here to select your refund preference with BM Technologies, Inc.
NOTE:
- Loans awarded for both Fall and Spring will be fully disbursed at the beginning of each semester.
- Fall or Spring Semester only loan will be disbursed in two equal payments at the beginning and at the midpoint of the semester.
- Summer Semester only loan will be disbursed in one payment at the beginning of the summer semester.
- First-year and First-time borrowers are subject to a census date delayed payment during their first semester of enrollment. The loan will disburse the Monday after their designated census date.
Refunds are processed once your tuition and fees are paid in full.
