TCC Choice Card
Beginning in mid-October, Tarrant County College will partner with Higher One®, to bring a new method for receiving refunds to all Tarrant County College students.
During the week of Sept. 24, 2012, look for the bright green envelope from Higher One! Once it arrives, you'll simply use the card inside to make a choice on how you would like to receive your refund. Just choose one of the following options--open a Higher One checking account; use an existing bank account; or request a paper check. Choose the option that's best for you, and be sure to get started as soon as it arrives!
Remember, even if you are not currently expecting a refund, TCC may have refund money for you in the future, so don't wait.
Address Change?
Be sure we have your current address on file in WebAdvisor. Please note: due to high volume, address changes may not appear in WebAdvisor for up to three weeks. Please do not resubmit if you don't see your new address...wait a few weeks and check again.
What does this mean for students?
It means more choices for receiving your Financial Aid and other student refunds from TCC! The TCC Choice Card allows flexibility in receiving refunds. Even if you wish to continue to receive funds in the same way you do now, you must log into the website that will be provided with your new TCC Choice Card and select an option.
You must choose one of three options to receive refunds:
- Open and use a Higher One checking account and TCC Choice Card
- Use your existing bank account
- Receive a paper check in the mail
All refunds processed on or after October 12, 2012 will be paid based on the refund option selected. Until then, the current refund process will continue as is.
Will I pay any fees?
Although the card may be used as a debit card, in order to not incur fees, you must swipe your card as a credit card and sign your name, rather than use a PIN.
Why is TCC making this change?
This new service with Higher One will provide you with more choices in how you receive and manage your refund- including full service checking account options, a debit MasterCard and much more.
What do students need to do?
Make sure we have your current mailing address, no matter which option you choose! Here's how:
- Visit WebAdvisor.
- After logging in, select Students under the Main Menu.
- Then select Address and E-mail Change under the User Account heading.
Be sure to update your address with the US Postal service as well to avoid delays.
