Summer I 2025 refund checks will be available starting in early to mid-July and are generated weekly. Funds will be disbursed to student accounts as they are received from the federal and state governments and eligibility is confirmed. Some funds may not disburse until later in the semester. Refund checks are created when the funds disbursed to the student's account exceed the tuition and fees charged. QCC has not yet received Summer MassEducate and MassReconnect funds as of June 6th.
