State Refund Policy
The college will refund 100% of tuition and fees if you ofcially withdraw from class before the rst day of
classes of the academic semester.
In compliance with current State Board policy: 75-percent of tuition only may be refunded if the student
ofcially withdraws from class(es) on or after the rst day of the start of the semester and prior to or on the
section’s census date. During the drop/add period, if you are changing sections, or dropping and adding a
class—BOTH the drop AND the add transaction MUST be performed in the same registration session in
order to receive full credit for the course you are dropping. Other fees, such as shop/lab/clinic fees, YMCA
fee, GBAT fee, GOLDS fee, RUSH fee, campus access/parking/security fee, computer use/technology fee,
student activity fee, student accident insurance fee, and malpractice insurance fees are not r
efundable after
classes start. The census date of each section may vary and may be obtained from logging into WebAdvisor
and clicking on My Class Schedule. A student may receive a full refund of tuition and fees if s/he ofcially
withdraws from school prior to the rst day of the semester. No refunds will be given to students who drop
a section after the census date of the section.
The college refund policy is established by state legislative action and therefore, is subject to change without
prior notice to students. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for refunds.
Financial Aid Refund Policy
The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 prescribes the requirement for calculating the amount of
aid a student and school can retain when the student totally withdraws from all classes. Students who with-
draw from all classes prior to completing 60% of the semester will have their eligibility for aid
recalculated based on the percent of the semester completed. For example, a student who withdraws
completing only 30% of the term will have “earned” only 30% of any Title IV aid received.
The remaining 70% must be returned by the school and/or the student. The Financial Aid Ofce
encourages you to read a complete copy of this policy carefully. It is available on our website. If you are
thinking about withdrawing from all classes PRIOR to completing 60% of the semester, you should contact
the Financial Aid Ofce to see how your withdrawal will affect your nancial aid.
It is very important that you ask questions, examine your schedule carefully, and TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY for your schedule!
• Check your program in the catalog-- be sure your classes are required if you are working toward a
degree.
• Transfer students should check to make sure the classes you choose are transferable.
• Check campus location where your classes are offered— be sure it is where you want to be.
• If you schedule classes on more than one campus— make sure you have time between classes to travel between
campuses.
• Do not sign up for more classes than you want, planning to drop after the rst day of class, unless you are
prepared to accept a 75% refund of tuition only.
• If you need to DROP and ADD during the schedule adjustment period, you must do so in one registration session.
That is the only way, your new class and your old class (if the number of credit hours is the same) will
not result in you owing the state money.
Accounts referred to a third party for collection are subject to applicable collection fees.
