Withdrawal and Refunds Policy

Students who reduce their course load (except for full-time undergraduates maintaining 12 semester hours or more) by dropping or withdrawing from classes during the refund period of the semester will have the tuition refund calculated as of the date of the course drop. Discontinuing attendance from class or notifying the instructor does not constitute an official course drop. Without an official course drop, students will be responsible for all tuition. The date of the drop or withdrawal is based on the date that the student notifies the Registrar’s Office in writing and is not based on attendance.

Tuition refund periods are based on the length of the course. Depending upon attendance and withdrawal dates, a student’s financial aid may be adjusted accordingly. Federal financial aid regulations require the college to prorate financial aid for students who withdraw from all courses through 60% of the enrollment period even after initial aid disbursement.

If you plan to withdraw from your course(s), please contact your Student Services Counselor and/or Financial Aid, so that you are fully aware of how your withdrawal may impact your bill and financial aid.
