Withdrawal/Refund Policy:
The student is personally responsible for withdrawing from enrollment. Students wishing to withdraw from a class or from school must do so through the Office of Admissions and Registrar in Kilgore or the KC-Longview office. Requests received after close of business will be processed the next business day. Students eligible to web register may withdraw from classes online through the end of Late Registration. Students who withdraw once the semester begins may be required to re-pay a portion of financial aid already received. Students withdrawing prior to the first day of the semester and through the 12th class day of the semester will receive no grade. After that time, the student receives a grade of “W” through the 12th week of the semester. Students may not withdraw after the 12th week of the semester. Flex class withdrawal dates vary (see flex withdrawal/refund schedule below). While instructors may withdraw students for excessive absences, the ultimate responsibility for withdrawing is on the student. Students who fail to officially withdraw may receive a grade of “F” for the semester and may have to re-pay financial aid.
Note: Class day is defined as the day the semester or session is designated to begin and each school day thereafter. The timetable shown in the online Registration Guide applies to all refunds, including refunds to early-registered students who withdraw before classes start. No refunds will be made earlier than this schedule.
Refund Schedule:
According to the following percentage schedules, the college calculates refunds for courses dropped or for withdrawal from school within the first 20 class days of a long semester or seven class days of a summer term:
Fall Semester | ||
---|---|---|
Prior to the first class day | 8/26 | *100% |
During the first 15 class days | 8/26 - 9/16 | 70% |
During the 16th through 20th class days | 9/17-23 | 25% |
