Tuition rebates will be reduced by the amount of any outstanding student loan,
including an emergency loan, owed to or guaranteed by the state, including the
Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation. If a student has more than one
outstanding student loan, the institution will apply the amount of the rebate to the
loans as directed by the student. If the student fails to provide timely instructions on
the application of the amount, the institution will apply the rebate to retire the loans
with the highest interest rates first.

ESPONSIBILITIES OF
S
TUDENTS
Students desiring to qualify for tuition rebates are solely responsible for enrolling
only in courses that will qualify them for the rebates. A student who has transferred
from another institution of higher education is responsible for providing to the
institution awarding the degree official transcripts from all institutions attended by
the student.
Students are required to apply for rebates on forms provided by the institution
prior to receiving their baccalaureate degrees and to keep the institution apprised of
their addresses for at least 30 days after their graduation date.
TEXTBOOK REFUNDS
Textbook sales are final unless the student drops a course. A full refund will be given
for books returned to the College bookstore with the sales receipt by the tenth day
of the fall or spring semester or the third day of a summer or mini semester.
Students returning usable books which are stained, written in or damaged will
receive an 80% refund. There will be no refund for unusable books. The bookstore
will buy back books at the end of each semester if the course is to be offered the
following semester and the same book will be used again in that course. The price
will be up to 50 percent of the purchased book price. Students must present
identification and proof of purchase. The bookstore may refuse to buy any books at
any time. Defective merchandise may be exchanged within five days of purchase.
TRANSCRIPT OF CREDIT
Requests for official transcripts must be submitted in writing to the Registrar’s
Office one week prior to the date the transcript is needed. Transcript requests are
not accepted by telephone. Unofficial transcripts are available to students on the
TVCC website on their Cardinal Connection. Requests received by fax or email have
a 48-hour turnaround time.
