Refund Policy and Refund Deadlines

All refunds are calculated based upon the number of calendar days (not class days) that have elapsed since a class began, to include the first day of class. The deadline is therefore no longer a specific date for all courses; each section is refunded according to its starting date. One set of rules applies to courses longer than five weeks; another applies to those less than five weeks in duration.

For courses five weeks or shorter:

  • Course dropped prior to the start of class: 100%
  • Course dropped on the first or second calendar day before midnight: 100%
  • Course dropped the third calendar day before midnight: 75%
  • Course dropped the fourth calendar day or later: No refund

For courses longer than five weeks:

  • Course dropped prior to the start of class: 100%
  • Course dropped on the first or second calendar day before midnight: 100%
  • Course dropped on the third through the ninth calendar day before midnight: 75%
  • Course dropped on the 10th through the 14th calendar day before midnight: 50%
  • Course dropped the 15th calendar day or later: No refund

The effective date for the calculation of a refund for a credit course shall be the date the withdrawal form is filed in the Office of Records and Registration or the date the transaction is successfully completed through Owl Link.

Additional Rules

  1. No refund of registration fee or late registration fee.
  2. One hundred percent (100%) refund if the class is canceled or rescheduled by the College.
  3. No refunds will be given after the deadlines listed in the refund schedule above.
  4. Refunds of payments made by credit card will go back to that card as a credit.
  5. All other refunds are issued electronically according to the preference set by the student at www.RefundSelection.com. No paper checks will be issued.

Note: No refunds are issued after the periods indicated. (The College reserves the right to make changes in the aforementioned policy as required.) Please note that exchanging a course past its refund deadline for another course in effect constitutes a refund. This will not be done after the refund deadline, except to correct placement in sequential courses. Failure to attend a course does not constitute a withdraw. Please consult faculty and staff before officially withdrawing from any college course.

Returned Checks

If the College receives final notice of a check being returned for any reason prior to the start of a semester, you will be dropped from all classes with no financial obligation other than the return check fee and registration fee. All checks are deposited twice. If the College receives final notification of the returned check on or after the first day of the semester, you will not be dropped from classes. You will remain enrolled unless you withdraw or adjust your schedule during the refund period. At the end of that period, you, the student, will be liable for tuition and fees for all remaining courses plus the return check fee, regardless of whose check was used to pay your tuition. No grades will be released or transcripts issued until the indebtedness has been paid.

Delinquent Accounts

Delinquency in payment of any amount due from a student or former student to the College or under any loan program administered by the College, or failure of financial aid recipients to complete an exit interview before leaving the College, will result in denial of registration, exclusion from classes, withholding of grades, and transcripts. The College employs the services of the State Central Collection Unit (SCCU). One of the SCCU measures is to refer delinquent accounts to the credit bureau. If your delinquent account is referred to the credit bureau, it will remain on your credit report for the next seven years. If your delinquent account is referred to a collection agency, you will be held liable for all collection costs incurred and the delinquent amount due. These collection costs can add up to one-third additional expense to your indebtedness to the College.
