Students can create a parent account for proxy access to important information that pertains to the student. Through the parent proxy account, parents can access information including warning grades, final grades, pay deposits, and view/pay eBills.
York College will issue students a refund of financial aid or other overpayment received that is in excess of charges posted only after those funds have been received.
Student Loans
An eRefund (direct deposit) or refund check will be processed if a credit balance occurs as loan money is received. If a credit balance exists, the earliest date that an eRefund is available is the first day of the semester, while the earliest date that a refund check will be available is up to five business days after the first day of the semester. Unclaimed checks are held in the Business Office for a minimum of one week but may be held for up to two weeks at which time the checks are mailed to the permanent address on file. Photo identification is required to pick up a refund check in the Business Office.
Parent PLUS Loans
Refunds will be processed after the drop/add period. The check will be issued in the name of the parent and mailed to the permanent address.
Parents may submit written authorization to release the credit to the student. The check will then be issued in the student's name. Parents can complete and return the PLUS Loan Refund Release Form or send an email to businessoffice@ycp.edu to provide authorization.
Overpayments and Miscellaneous Credits
Refund checks will be issued for all credits over $5.00. Checks will be mailed to the permanent legal address on file in the Registrar's Office if not picked up in the Business Office.
Tuition and Deposit Holds
Holds can be viewed online through YCPWeb by selecting Student Services, Student Records, and View Holds. For information or assistance with holds, please contact the originating office directly. The Business Office is the originator of the following financial-related hold:
Tuition Hold
A tuition hold on your account is a result of an outstanding balance on your student account. An outstanding balance can result from unpaid tuition, fees, room, and board or other miscellaneous charges (i.e. parking violation charges, health center charges, ID card replacement charges, etc.)
A tuition hold will stop the release of grades and prevent registration for upcoming semesters. It will also prevent scheduling changes prior to the start of the semester and during the drop/add period.
When an outstanding student account balance is paid in full, the tuition hold will be removed from your account. Click for instructions on How to Pay Your eBill Online. For online payments, a tuition hold will be removed the next business day or you can contact the Business Office to request the hold be removed immediately. Payments can also be made in the Business Office via cash or check.
Deposit Hold
A deposit hold on your account is a reminder that a tuition deposit must be paid prior to registering for an upcoming semester. This only applies to our new, transfer, re-admit, and non-matriculated students. Returning students do not need to pay a tuition deposit in order to register.
The 2024 IRS 1098-T Tax Forms will be available to you on or before January 31, 2025. A paper copy will not be mailed.
This form is used in preparation of the 2024 1040 Federal tax return for the student or, if a dependent, the party that can claim the educational tax credit. Please be sure to review and verify the accuracy of the student's social security number (SSN) and address. If there are any discrepancies, a change form must be completed in our Registrar's Office. They can be reached at registrar@ycp.edu.
Parents, you will need to have proxy access for your student's account in order to view the 1098-T. If you are not already set up, please do so by following these Parent Proxy instructions. The setup is a twofold process. Your student will complete Step 1 and you finish with Step 2.

- Click on the YCPWeb icon
- Select the Pay Bill - Student Account tab
