Student Refund/Late Withdraw Request
A student who must withdraw or is dropped from a class due to a College error/change or other
College action after the published add/drop period shall be refunded 100% of refundable fees upon
the approval of the student’s refund request. No grade is recorded on the student’s record. No other
refunds are granted except in those cases where a student withdraws from classes due to a personal
emergency beyond the student’s control.
Students may withdraw from course(s) online through Pantherweb. A grade of W will be denoted on
the student’s transcript for a withdrawn class. Students are permitted a maximum of two attempts
and/or withdrawals per course. Withdrawals are considered an attempt, which could impact student’s
financial aid status. The deadline to withdraw for each enrolled course is listed on the student’s Class
Schedule; however, a withdrawal after this date may be considered in cases of certain extenuating
circumstances. No refunds are granted for withdraws.
The refund/late withdraw process takes approximately four to six weeks. If you are no longer
attending and it is within the timeframe to do so, it was your responsibility to withdraw from the
course(s). SUBMITTING A REFUND REQUEST FORM DOES NOT OFFICIALLY WITHDRAW YOU FROM A
CLASS OR THE COLLEGE.
Decisions will be based on the documentation provided. You will be notified in writing of the Appeals
Committee’s decision. If approved, your refund will be issued in the same method of payment originally
submitted. Any financial obligations owed to the college will be deducted from your refund. Please
note that requests will not be granted beyond one calendar year from the term in question.
