Refund Schedule

The following schedule for calculating refunds shall be adhered to for those students who withdraw from the institution via the official withdrawal process and who are eligible to receive refunds.

Fall and Spring Semester

  • 90% - First and second week of classes
  • 70% - Third and fourth week of classes
  • 50% - Fifth and sixth week of classes 

Summer Term and Non-Traditional Periods

  • 90% - First and second day of classes
  • 70% - Third and fourth day of classes
  • 50% - Fifth and sixth day of classes

Should the percentage calculation identify a particular day, the entire day should be included in the higher refund period. All refunds are to be calculated from the first day of classes of a given semester or term. Every student who registers incurs a financial obligation to the College.

Refund checks are normally mailed within fifteen days of the official withdrawal date. Refunded fees must be returned in accordance with the requirements of the Higher Education Act whenever Title IV funds are involved.

A withdrawal fee may be charged by the institution not to exceed five percent (5%) of the total student fees charged for the term or one hundred dollars ($100.00), whichever is less. Exceptions to this policy resulting from extenuating circumstances must be approved by the Vice President for Student Services or his/her designee before a refund may be processed. The decision of the Vice President for Student Services may be appealed through the appropriate appeal process.
