Refund Policy
Residents
Your enrollment fee, less a $10 processing charge, is returned automatically if you drop by a specific date depending on each course or full refund if the college cancels classes. For short-term classes (meeting less than two weeks), you must drop before the first class meeting. For short-term classes (greater than two weeks) including summer session classes, you must drop prior to ten percent (10%) of the length of the course. Please refer to your registration statement for specific dates including the refund date, drop without a “W” and drop with a “W” date.
Refunds for your parking fee must be requested through the Enrollment Services Office and a processing fee may be assessed. The processing fee is assessed once per semester. You must submit a “Request for Refund” form and attach your parking permit. No refunds will be made after the second week of instruction. It is the student’s responsibility to drop classes.
The processing time for refunds is approximately four (4) weeks. Keep receipts for reference. Student transcripts, diplomas and registration privileges will be withheld pending settlement of outstanding financial obligations due the college.
If you do not appear in class, do not drop the course and the instructor does not drop you, you will be held responsible for fees. In addition, you may also receive a failing grade.
