Dropping a course or totally withdrawing from school according to college policies may result in a refund of tuition and fees. The method of refund is determined by the method of payment.
- Refunds for payments that were made by cash, check or e-check will be mailed to the student as a check.
- Refunds for payments made online with a credit card will automatically be refunded to that same card.
All refunds will be issued within 30 calendar days of the official drop/withdrawal from the course(s).

Refund Policy for Financial Aid Return to Title IV
If a student completely withdraws from all credits (either officially or unofficially) in a term
before the 60% point of that term, the financial aid awarded is subject to the federal “Return of Title IV” policy.
Students earn financial aid in proportion to the time they are enrolled up to the 60% point. The
unearned share of financial aid must be returned to the programs from which they were paid as prescribed
by federal regulations. The student will be required to repay all unearned financial aid.
Please contact the Financial Aid Office prior to withdrawing if you have any questions regarding your possible
repayment obligation.
