Except for Scholarship Awards, requests for refunds of tuition and mandatory fees are made through the Cashier's Office and forwarded to the Business Office for approval. The term "refund" is defined as the cancellation of an unpaid obligation as well as an actual refund of an amount previously paid. Appeals of denials of refunds may be made to the College President. However, please keep in mind that students may NOT appeal a refund of federal or state financial aid due to withdrawal grades.
All student accounts will be refunded in accordance with established College procedures:
-
100% Refund - If the initiation and completion of the withdrawal is made through the Director of Enrollment/Registrar by Noon as follows: by the end of the 2nd class week within a 16 week semester; by the end of the 1st week of class for summer session; and by the Monday following the 1st class meeting for weekend format courses.
-
Duplicate or Overpayments - Refunds will be made in cases of duplicate payments or overpayments.
-
Other Fees and Charges - Except for course fees, all other fees and charges are non-refundable.
-
No Refund will be given for withdrawals made after the deadlines stated above.
-
Military Benefits - Special Circumstances: A soldier ordered into service by the Government will need to speak with the Business Office.
-
Aid in excess of your statement of accounts will be refunded to you once the funds are received from the federal government. Refund checks are generally available 30 days after the start of classes each semester. Students should come prepared to meet their school/living expenses prior to issuance of refund checks. Emergency loans will not be issued at any time.
-
Each semester, all credit balances will be refunded in a timely manner. No balances will be carried forward to another semester.
Private Loan Funds are received electronically by the College and posted directly to the student’s LCN statement of account. In case of a credit balance, a refund check will be generated.
