Refund amounts are dependent on the class start date, class end date, and the date a student officially withdraws from class. Refund percentages are based on the number of class meetings that occurred.

100% Refund – A student shall receive a 100% refund of course-related fees paid, if the withdrawal request is received prior to the first scheduled day of class.  Students who have not previously paid will not owe any course-related tuition and fees.  

80% Refund – A student shall receive an 80% refund of course-related fees paid, if the withdrawal request is received before or at the time 10% of the class has been completed.  Students who have not previously paid will owe 20% of the course-related tuition and fees.

60% Refund – A student shall receive an 60% refund of course-related fees paid, if the withdrawal request is received after 10% but before or at the time 20% of the class has been completed.  Students who have not previously paid will owe 40% of the course-related tuition and fees.

No refund is granted nor will course-related tuition and fees be reduced if the withdrawal request is received after 20% of the class has been completed.

Students who are no-shows or cease to attend without notifying the college of their request to withdraw are fully responsible for course tuition and fees.

Course Cancellation Refunds

A student shall receive a 100% refund or have charges removed of course-related fees for courses that are cancelled by the district.
