General Refund Policy

Students choosing to drop or withdraw from a course or courses must notify the College in writing using the Course Change Request Form as outlined in the Dropping/Adding Courses section or by contacting the Office of the Registrar. If you do not file a Course Change Request Form, or contact the Office of the Registrar during the designated refund period, you will continue to owe all fees assessed at registration.

Students choosing to withdraw from a regular term class (16-week, 10-week, 8-week) and add an off-cycle class will be assessed the fees of the regular term class at the time of withdrawal and charged 100 percent of the off-cycle class.

The Student Information System processes student refunds based on using the percentages noted below. Refunds are calculated on business days regardless of holidays. Business days are considered to be Monday through Friday. Technology fees, consumable fees, and tuition are refunded at the same rate noted below. With regard to the technology fee, if the student withdraws from all of his/her classes during the 100% refund period, the technology fee will be refunded. If the student is enrolled in any classes beyond the 100% refund period, the technology fee will not be refunded. For purposes of the refund period, the “first day” is calculated differently for terms of 12 weeks or more and for terms of less than 12 weeks. For terms of 12 weeks or more, the refund period would begin on Monday of the first week of classes that a particular course meets. For terms of less than 12 weeks, the refund period would begin on the first day the course meets. For terms of less than 12 weeks, if a class begins on a Saturday or Sunday, the refund period would begin on the following Monday.

You should allow approximately one to two weeks for processing of a refund check to be mailed to the address shown on your Course Reservation Form.

The College reserves the right to cancel classes at any time. If your course is canceled, you'll receive a full refund.
