It can not be guaranteed that your financial aid awards will cover all of your charges each semester.  You can review how your financial aid applies to your semester charges under the "Student Finance" menu in your My Cardinal Connect student portal, by selecting the appropriate semester listed below your account summary. 

• If after your aid has been applied you still have a balance, you will need to pay that balance or setup a payment plan by the tuition due date.
• If after your aid has been applied your balance is negative this is a good thing; it means that your aid has exceeded your charges.  When this occurs, you can use these excess funds to make purchases in a TVCC bookstore beginning 10 calendar days before classes begin.  Any remaining funds will disburse to you a few weeks after the semester has begun.
