What is a refund?

A refund is any money that Eastern Arizona College owes you. Common reasons you may receive a refund include:

  • Financial Aid overages from grants
  • Dropped classes
  • Tuition overpayment

 

How are refunds handled at EAC?

Eastern Arizona College has partnered with Higher One to provide disbursement services for refunds through the EAC Debit Card. Students will have more choices in how they receive refund money. The fastest choice for receiving any refund is an Easy Refund to the OneAccount.

 

How do I choose my refund Preference?

Every Eastern Arizona College student will receive an EAC Debit Card in the mail. The EAC Debit Card allows you to choose how you would like to receive any refund money owed to you from EAC. Upon receiving your EAC Debit Card, visit www.EACDebitCard.com to activate your refund preference. If you do not receive an EAC Debit Card in the mail, please contact the Fiscal Control Office at (928) 428-8225.
