Refund policies are state mandated and strictly enforced.

A student who withdraws from the college may become eligible for a refund based on the date the withdrawal (add/drop) form is completed and returned to the Admissions Office as specified in the withdrawal procedure in the Admissions section of the school catalog.

The college charges mandatory and non-mandatory fees. Mandatory fees include Tuition and Designated Tuition. Non-mandatory fees include insurance, housing and meal plan fees. The housing and meal card refunds are prorated based on the date of withdrawal. In order to receive a meal card refund, the meal card must be returned. Insurance fees are nonrefundable. Students receiving a refund from housing and meal plan fees should notify the Student Receivable office as soon as possible.

Students who drop or withdraw from the college shall have their tuition (except non-refundable fees) refunded according to the following schedules (not to include weekends or holidays):

The refund schedule will vary depending upon the following:

1.      Students who are enrolled in semester credit hour courses who drop a class or withdraw from school prior to the first class day will receive a 100% refund.

Students in semester credit hour courses who officially withdraw from school or drop a course after classes begin will have their tuition and fees refunded according to the following schedule, unless the fees are specifically designated as non-refundable:

Class days are defined as calendar days during which classes are normally held and not the days a particular course meets.

A student who concurrently adds and drops the same number of credit hours will neither be charged nor refunded for this add/drop.

2.      Students who are enrolled in Continuing Education classes and officially withdraw from a Continuing education class will receive their tuition and fees refunded as follows:

Class meeting is defined as the actual meeting days of the individual class section.

The refund is based on the full amount of tuition and fees, not on the amount paid by the student.

A refund of non-refundable fees can be approved in cases where the student is not accepted by the college or when classes are cancelled. No other provisions are provided for refunding these fees.

The college reserves the right to withhold refunds in cases where the student is suspended for disciplinary reasons.

Refunds of payments made with checks will be processed until sufficient time has elapsed for checks to clear the bank.

Refunds are mailed within 20 days from receipt of the official withdrawal notice. Cash refunds are not permitted.

Note: Financial aid students may have to repay funds to Title IV Financial Aid programs. Student must contact the Financial Aid Office prior to withdrawing from all courses.
