To obtain a tuition refund, you are required to submit a written application to the Office of the Registrar. The date on which the application is filed is considered the official date of withdrawal. Please note non-attendance in classes does not waive the tuition liability incurred at registration. Students should allow approximately eight weeks for refund checks to be processed and mailed.
Refunds are given based on the following:
Resignations
In the case of resignation from a course or courses during the semester, the following rate schedule applies:
-
Resignation filed with the Office of the Registrar before the first day of classes, 100 percent reduction in tuition liability
-
Resignation filed within the first week of classes, 75 percent reduction in tuition liability
-
Resignation filed within the second week of classes, 50 percent reduction in tuition liability
-
Resignation filed within the third week of classes, 25 percent reduction in tuition liability
-
Resignation filed after the third week of classes, no reduction in tuition liability
The Summer Session refund schedule is listed in the Summer Session Schedule.
Administrative Cancellations
Students are entitled to full refunds in the event that courses are withdrawn or registration is canceled by the College.
Returned Check Policy
Checks returned unpaid to the College by a financial institution, no matter the amount or reason for the return, will automatically incur a $15 reprocessing fee in addition to the original obligation. The Bursar will attempt to notify the student or former student who submitted the returned check to provide information on making payment. Full payment must be made within two weeks of the date of the check being returned to the College. Failure to meet this deadline will result in an additional $15 Late Payment Service Fee. In some cases, that account may be turned over to the College’s collection attorneys for appropriate action. The Bursar will not accept checks in payment of tuition or fees, even if the student wishes to use someone else’s check.
If the financial institution supplies a letter to the College admitting error on its part, the student will have his/her check writing privileges restored. A student who fails to pay tuition or other obligations will be denied access to his/her records and will be prevented from registering in the future.
