Students are responsible for paying all charges incurred as a result of registering for classes.  The College will not drop a student's classes nor reduce tuition charges/fees due to a student's non-payment of those charges.  Students may receive a fee reduction for classes by formally withdrawing (dropping) from those classes for any reason.  The amount of the fee reduction is based upon the date of withdrawal (drop) and calculated according to the College's published refund schedule.  Refunds are disbursed to the student and/or a third party payer.  Refund checks are mailed to students during the sixth week of the term.

          1.  Requests for refunds will be considered only if the student completes and signs the official College drop/add class form.  The student shall deliver the completed form to the Registrar Office.  The official date of withdrawal (drop) is the date of entry of the form by the Registrar Office.

          2.  The Admissions fee is not refundable.

          3.  The following fees are not refundable unless the College cancels all classes the student registers for:

                   Registration Fee

                   Technology/Activity Fee

                   Extended Payment Fee

                  Late Registration Fees

                   Facility Fee

          4.  The College's refund schedule is as follows:

          Refunds for dropped classes processed in the Registrar Office before the first day of the term are calculated at a rate of 100% refund of the in or out-of-state tuition fee and course/lab fee for the dropped class.

          Refunds for dropped classes processed in the Registrar Office from the first day of the term through the seventh calendar day of the term will be calculated at a rate of 100% refund of the in or out-of-state tuition fee and course/lab fee only for the dropped class.

          Refunds for dropped classes processed in the Registrar Office from the eighth to fourteenth calendar day of the term are calculated at a rate of 50% refund of the in or out-of-state tuition fee and course/lab fee for the dropped class.  There is no reduction of charges for courses dropped after the fourteenth calendar day of the term.

          5.  Flexibly scheduled courses:  Courses which have a beginning or/and ending date different than the first and last weeks of the normal term schedule are considered flexibly scheduled and will have a prorated refund period applied to them.  A 100 percent refund is applicable to a flexibly scheduled course dropped in the first 11 percent period of that course’s term.  A 50 percent refund is applicable to a flexibly scheduled course dropped in the 12 to 22 percent period of that course’s term.  No refund is applicable after the 22 percent period of the term.

          6.  Course cancellation:  A refund of 100% will be made to a student who has registered for courses that have been cancelled by the College (if the student does not change to another course).

          7.  Refunds for students whose registration bill was paid by third-party funding (financial aid, agency) are applied toward reimbursing the third-party before any disbursement to the student.

          8.  If a student owes a financial obligation to the College, the refund will be applied toward payment of the balance due before any disbursement to the student.

          9.  Students who do not follow the established dropped-class procedures of the College will not be eligible for a refund.

          10.  Students who have questions concerning refunds may direct those questions to the College Cashier Office.

          11.  Appeals to this refund policy may be filed through the College Cashier Office.
