Tuition Refund Schedule

To be considered officially withdrawn from one or more classes and eligible for a refund, a student must have filed a Tuition Refund Petition (55KB PDF)with the college within the refund period. Refund periods for fall and spring semesters are the following:

100% Prior to the 1st class day of the semester for 16-week semesters or
Prior to the 1st class day of the semester 5-week semesters. 

70% During the first 15 class days of the semester for 16-week semesters or
During the first 5 class days of the semester for 5-week semesters.

25% During the 16th-20th class days of the semester or 
During the 6th class day of the semester for 5-week semesters.

None  After the 20th class day of the semester or
After the 6th class day of the semester for 5-week semesters.

Note: The refund schedule for Summer and flex term classes varies. Please check with the admissions office prior to requesting a refund.

The amount of refund may be reduced for federal financial aid recipients who have not completed 60% of the enrollment period for which they have received aid. The 1st class day is the official institutional first day of classes; it may precede a student's actual first day of class. Refunds are based on net charges for classes dropped and added if occurring prior to the date the college must report official enrollment.

Refunds are made to credit cards (if tuition was paid by credit card) or by check mailed to the student's address on file with the college. Refunds are not issued in cash. Tuition paid directly to the college by a sponsor, donor, employer or scholarship is refunded based on the terms stipulated by the funding source. Processing a refund check normally requires a minimum of one month from the date of approval.

A student who wishes to appeal for a greater refund may do so by submitting a petition and explanation of any extenuating circumstances to the college refund petitions committee. If the committee approves the petition, the college will notify the student and issue a refund accordingly.  Download Petition Form (55KB PDF)
