Refund Policy
Effective Fall Semester 2009
The refund schedule presumes the account is paid in full at the time of registration. It is based on the total amount owed the college, not the amount paid. The refund schedule is date specific.
Refunds are calculated from the day the Schedule Change form is received in the Registration Office. Students who do not officially withdraw owe full tuition and fees and may receive an “F” for the course. The length of a course determines which refund schedule applies when a student drops a course.
