Refund Policies

Enrollment in the college constitutes a contract binding the student for the stated semester charges. A refund policy has been adopted to partially reimburse students for unexpected withdrawals and also permit the college to maintain its contractual commitments to faculty and supporting services. Students receiving Federal (Title IV) financial assistance will have refunds processed according to federal regulations governing student aid programs.
 

Tuition Refund Policy

  • A 100 percent tuition refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws prior to the published start date of the class.
  • An 80 percent tuition refund shall be made if the student withdraws on or before the last day to add/drop classes (see dates below).
  • A 50 percent tuition refund shall be made if the student withdraws on or before the published last day to withdraw for a refund (see dates below).
  • No tuition refund shall be made if the student withdraws from a class after the published last day to withdraw for a refund.

Room and meal fees are refunded according to the tuition refund policy.

Required student fees and some student-specific fees are not refundable unless the student officially withdraws prior to the start date of his/her classes, a student’s class is canceled, or the college determines an institutional error has occurred.
