instructions are located at http://www.johnstoncc.edu/payingforcollege/financialaid/check-status.aspx.
Students that do not have Financial Aid posted to their account must either pay out of pocket or they may set up a Tuition Payment Plan at http://mycollegepaymentplan.com/jcc.
Last day to pay for Priority Registration: August 2nd
Last day to pay for Final Registration:August 14th
*Remember for Financial Aid and/or VA enrollment status
Any courses that do not count toward a student’s current program of study will not be used to determine enrollment status for Financial Aid and/or VA unless they are eligible remedial courses. Fast Track courses must be registered for by the 10% point of the semester (August 24th) to be included in enrollment hours for financial aid purposes.
Book Loan Information
We will start processing Book Emergency Loans beginning on August 1st. Students needing
a Book Emergency Loan must have applied for Financial Aid and be in good standing
as far as their Satisfactory Academic Progress (2.0 GPA and have passed 67% of classes
taken). Students must have already registered and must have submitted all requested
documents before requesting a book loan. The Datatel system will not allow us to process
an emergency loan until the student has registered and the student's tuition payment
has been covered.
Students with Book Emergency Loans can begin charging books on the same dates as all other Financial Aid students. See Below.
Charging Books in the Bookstore
All Financial Aid Students and/or Sponsored Students (including those that completed Priority Registration) may charge books against their Financial Aid in the Bookstore on the following dates:

Financial Aid Disbursements and Refunds
Fall 2023 Financial Aid payments will be based on enrollment at the 10% point of the
semester (August 24th). Refunds will be available beginning on September 25th. Financial
Aid payments for any course that does not start at the beginning of the semester will
not be paid out until after the course has started and attendance has been verified.
There will be no in-person pick up for refunds.
You should be receiving your Refund Selection Kit from BankMobile in the mail if you have not already received one. Disbursement of Funds will depend on the preference you select. Please go to www.RefundSelection.com to select your refund preference if you have not already done so. You may contact the Business Office if you have questions regarding your refund options.
Important Note for Financial Aid Students and/or Sponsored Students regardless of
when you register for classes:
Students who have Financial Aid posted to their WebAdvisor account do not need to
report to the Business Office unless they are also sponsored students (WIA, VA, VR,
VOC REH, etc.) that have not already submitted a written authorization to the Business
Office. Students with authorization forms from sponsors (WIA, VA, VOC REH, ESC, etc.)
are required to turn forms in to the Business Office by the advertised payment deadline.
A student ID and a copy of their schedule is required to go to the bookstore. August
