Credit Balance Refund Checks
Credit Balance Refunds Checks are issued 14 days after the first day of the start of classes if there is a credit balance. For any financial-aid posting after the first two weeks of school, a refund will be issued after the posting of the aid. Students eligible for a refund will receive an email from the Business Office once the refund is available.
Book Vouchers
In order to have Financial Aid help purchase your books, you must have a credit balance on your student account. This means that your financial aid award(s) (loans, scholarships, grants, etc) must exceed the amount of tuition, room, board, and miscellaneous fees that are charged to your account. You will receive an email from the Business Office stating that you have a book credit in the College Bookstore once your account has a credit balance. If your account does not display financial aid and you believe you have financial aid that exceeds your charges, please contact the Office of Financial Aid. Financial aid posted before 3 p.m. will generate a book voucher from the Business Office by 4 p.m. the same day. Book vouchers are available up to 10 days after the beginning of classes.
1098-T Statements
Statements are online at Heartland ECSI. To access online, you need to enter your first and last names, Social Security Number, and zip code, which appear on the 1098-T form. If there are any issues with the data, contact ECSI at 866-428-1098.
