Refund Policy


Student Refund Policy

Student Refund Policy can be found on page 11 of the 2017-2020 College Catalog.

A refund is defined as financial aid and/or cash payments minus the amount retained by the institution for the student's actual period of enrollment. Any student who withdraws from the institution may be eligible for a refund of institutional charges, according to the published refund policy. However, a student who received financial aid and withdraws from the institution may be required to refund all or a portion of the financial aid awards to the appropriate financial aid programs.

The effective date of withdrawal will be the date when the withdrawal is officially completed and recorded by in the
Office of the Registrar. In order to receive a full refund, the official withdrawal must be completed and recorded in the Office of the Registrar on or before the 12th class day for the fall or spring terms. For the summer term the withdrawal must be completed by the 2nd day of the summer term.

If the school determines that a student did not begin the withdrawal process or otherwise notify the school of the intent to withdraw, the school may determine the appropriate withdrawal date. The school may use as the student’s withdrawal date the student’s last date of attendance at an academically-related activity. The school must document that the activity is academically-related and document the student’s attendance at the activity. Examples of academically-related activities include, but are not limited to, an examination, a tutorial, computer-assisted instruction, academic counseling, and turning in a class assignment.
