Important:
During our traditional fall and spring semesters, financial aid funds disburse to students account eight-to-ten weeks into the semester. In the summer, your aid will disburse after July 1st. You will be able to see this transpire through your SIS account.
The River Valley Community College Bursar’s Office cannot determine the exact date that your refund will be mailed to you/deposited into your bank account. You will receive a notification via email once your refund is in process. Once you receive this notification, you can monitor the status of your refund via your Student Choice Refund site.
If you are opting to receive your refund via paper check, please log in to your SIS account and verify that your college has your current mailing address.
