  • Check – If you do not select Direct Deposit, a check can be mailed to the student’s US Postal mailing address as listed on his or her SIS account—allow 10 to 14 business days AFTER you see the refund posted on your SIS account for the check to arrive at your address.*

*Certain state grants and tuition refunds may take an additional 3-5 business days. A business day is considered to be Monday through Friday.

Go to the ESCC Refund Disbursement Portal

Eastern Shore Community College has contracted with Nelnet to process financial aid disbursements and certain tuition refunds to students electronically.

At the start of each term, all new students and current students who are not already registered on the ESCC Refund Disbursement Portal will receive an email inviting them to register and select one of the refund disbursement options listed below. Even if you do not anticipate receiving a financial aid disbursement or tuition refund, setting up your refund disbursement preference is recommended.  You only need to set up your preference once for all future terms and you may change your preference at any time. We encourage you to sign-up early so your refund disbursement won’t be delayed.

What are your choices?

  • Direct Deposit (ACH) – Funds are usually available within 5-6 business days after refunds are processed*
  • Check – If you do not select Direct Deposit, a check can be mailed to the student’s US Postal mailing address as listed on his or her SIS account.

*Certain state grants and tuition refunds may take an additional 3-5 business days. A business day is considered to be Monday through Friday.

If you paid your tuition with a credit card using Nelnet Online Payments and are due a refund, your tuition refund will be issued back to the card that was originally used for payment.

Please log in to the ESCC Student Information System (SIS) via myESCC and verify that your mailing address, name and date of birth are correct. Date of birth and the myESCC login ID are used to authenticate users when you register on the ESCC Refund Disbursement Portal.

The college’s default delivery method is check. Checks may take as many as 10 to 14 days.

If you have trouble accessing the ESCC Refund Disbursement Portal please email Lisa Gibb at lgibb@es.vccs.edu. Please provide her with your name, ID number, and phone number.
