Refund policy

Students are issued refunds based upon when they withdraw from courses. If they withdraw from a course prior to the add/drop deadline, their account is credited a 100% refund of that course's tuition. If they withdraw after the add/drop deadline has passed, their account is credited a 50% refund. If a student withdraws from all courses in a semester prior to the add/drop dealine, their account is credited with a 50% refund of their registration fee for that semester. Note that non-tuition course fees cannot be refunded, regardless of the date of withdrawal. Note that refunds are credited to student accounts and will be added to that account's extant balance; if an account is carrying a positive balance at the time of a refund, the refund will first be used to pay off that balance. For example, an account with a $500 balance receiving a $200 refund will be adjusted to $300, while an account with a $50 balance receiving a $200 refund will be adjusted to -$150.

Students are refunded in the following circumstances:

  • When a student withdraws from a course prior to the add/drop date, they are credited with the full tuition of the course. Course fees are excempt from this refund.

  • When a student withdraws from a course after the add/drop date but before the tuition refund date, they are credited half of the tuition of the course. Course fees are excempt from this refund.

  • When a student withdraws from all courses in a semester prior to registration refund cutoff date, they are credited with 50% of their semester registration fee.

The refund processing is conditional upon the student carrying a negative balance with the college in question. If, for example, a student receives a refund for withdrawing from a course but still carries a positive balance (owing the college money), no refund is processed.
