Refund Policy
The college will refund tuition and fees for courses dropped or for withdrawal from school within the first twenty class days of a long semester or within the first seven class
days of a summer term. The college will refund fees by mail from the Business Office three weeks after the twentieth class day in a long semester or thirty days after the seventh class day in a summer term. Official drops and withdrawals from school must be made according to the prescribed refund policy. The college will make no refund unless the student applies for the refund within the same semester as withdrawal. If a scheduled course fails to materialize, the college will return fees for the course according to the refund schedule below with the exception of late fees. The college will not issue a refund to a student who does not have a clear financial record with the college.

Note: Class day is defined as the day the semester or session is designated to begin and each school day thereafter. The above timetable applies to all refunds, including refunds to early registered students who withdraw before classes start. No refunds will be made earlier than this schedule.
