Refunds

Credit Courses:

Students who officially withdraw from the college or from an individual course by the end of the eighth (8) calendar day of the semester will receive a 100% refund of tuition, less non-refundable fees. This policy applies to all semester length and alternative semester formats. Student in classes which begin after the designated start of the semester (e.g. mid-semester start) will have 8 calendar days from the start of the class to withdraw for a full refund. Exception: Students in courses that meet for two weeks or fewer must drop by the end of the first day of the class in order to get a 100% refund.

Non-Credit Courses:

Students must withdraw in writing at least three days prior to the first session in order to receive a full refund of tuition and fees.

*** All other drops past this date will not receive a refund and the student will be financially responsible for the course(s). ***

If you do not show up to your first class without contacting the instructor you will be dropped from the class but will be financially responsible for the class, unless you drop according to the above policy.

Refunds

Refunds will be made according to the method of payment. If payment was made by cash, check, or FACTS, a refund check will be mailed. If payment was made by credit card, the credit card will be refunded. Refunds are processed in approximately three to five weeks.

Financial Aid Refunds

Credit balances created by financial aid funds will be refunded to the student two weeks after the credit balance was created. Refund checks are mailed to the student's home address. Credit balances created by Parent Plus Loans will be refunded to the parent who holds the loan within two weeks of the credit balance being created.

Return of Title IV Funds

Students who withdraw from school before the 60% point in a semester will have to repay a portion or all of their Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG grant, and Federal Perkins Loan funds to the United States Department of Education. In terms of Federal Family Education Loans ( Stafford loans) the unearned portion of the loan money will be returned to the student's lender. The exact amount required to be returned will vary depending on the amount of grant and loan money the student received and at what point the student withdraws from the College.

The student will be liable for the balance owed to the College for tuition and fees. The student will receive a revised statement of account for the expenses incurred, which will include the reduction and/or loss of Federal Title IV funds. NOTE: Federal Student Loans. If a student is in the first year of an undergraduate program is a first time borrower under the FFEL Program and withdraws from the college prior to 30 days into the term, the student becomes INELIGIBLE for the Stafford loan
