Tuition and fee refund policy
Students who officially drop a course(s) prior to the published refund deadline of any semester receive a refund of 100% of tuition and course fees paid.
In the event a course is canceled, all paid tuition and fees are refunded.
No refund will be made to students who are withdrawn from any course for disciplinary reasons or absenteeism (Board Policy 5.18). No refund shall be made of activity fees or other special service fees except when a course is canceled.
- If a student-initiated schedule change reduces the total amount of tuition and fees, 100% of the difference shall be refunded if the change is completed prior to the published refund deadline of any semester.
- Other provisions:
- A change of schedule initiated by the college results in a 100% refund.
- Classes that do not follow the full semester and module start/end dates have varying refund deadlines.
- Failure to attend classes does not constitute a schedule change or withdrawal and does not entitle students to a refund.
Requesting a refund for extraordinary circumstances
Students who are forced to withdraw from a class due to extraordinary circumstances may be eligible for a tuition refund. These appeals are reviewed by a committee who determines if they meet a specific set of criteria, such as being hospitalized for an extended amount of time. The following must be true for an appeal to be heard:
- Classes must have been withdrawn from and cannot have a grade.
- Circumstances must have been outside of the control of the student.
- Unexpected hospitalization, being called to active duty, or an error by 汤头条app are examples of appeals that are generally accepted.
- Forgetting to drop prior to the drop date, not seeing an email from 汤头条app, or failing a course are examples of appeals that are generally denied.
- Circumstances must be documented.
- For example, hospitalization records or an email chain showing the 汤头条app error.
