Refund Policy for Credit Courses
If you find it necessary to withdraw from College, you must complete a withdrawal form in consultation with a counselor and submit that completed form to the Registrar’s Office.
Failure to attend class, notifying an office other than the Registrar’s Office, or simply informing your instructor does not constitute an official withdrawal for refund purposes. You may not make a total withdrawal by leaving a voicemail. Tuition refunds are determined by the date Student Engagement or Financial Services receives the notification. All payments made with a credit card will be refunded to the credit card utilized for the payment.
The following refund schedules are for credit and non-credit developmental courses. The College does not provide refunds on medical grounds, and certain fees are not refundable. Check with Financial Services for detailed information.

Students receiving federal financial aid, including loans, who withdraw (officially or unofficially) before completing 60% of the semester will be subject to the federal return of Title IV funds calculation. This calculation is based on the percentage of the semester completed. Generally, the student is required to repay a portion of the federal financial aid which has been paid to the student. This calculation is mandated and must be applied regardless of the circumstances for withdrawal. For more information, contact the Financial Services Office at 315-294-8470.
