Academic Catalog 2024 - 2025

WITHDRAWAL: A student (parent/financially responsible party) may apply for a refund of tuition when withdrawal from the College is based upon student medical necessity (or other approved reason) and occurs within the first four weeks of classes. There shall be no refund of any tuition, housing, or board fees if the student is involved in disciplinary action that leads to a long-term suspension or dismissal. Written notice of withdrawal from the College must be received by the Registrar within the week noted in the Refund Schedule to obtain a refund. Room and board fees are not refundable once the semester has begun (see Appeal Process below). All applicable federal requirements will be followed for refunds if the student is receiving Federal Financial Aid and/or Veterans Benefits.

All refunds of tuition will be based upon the following:

REFUND SCHEDULE - Approved Withdrawals SEMESTER FALL SPRING SUMMER 1 ST WEEK 95% * 95% * 80% 2 ND WEEK 75% 75% 0% 3 RD WEEK 50% 50% 0% 4 TH WEEK 25% 25% 0% LATER 0% 0% 0% * 100% refund less 5% admin fee

Refunds for Federal Financial Aid Recipients If a student is a recipient of Title IV aid (i.e. Pell Grant, Stafford Loans, and Plus Loans), Federal regulations administered through the U.S. Department of Education will apply. If a recipient of Title IV aid withdraws during the term, the College will calculate the amount of aid the student did not earn, and the unearned portion will be returned to the Title IV programs. The student is responsible for any charges that are unpaid as a result of the return of Title IV funds. Examples of the calculations of earned and unearned Title IV funds required as a result of withdrawal may be requested from the Business Office. Generally speaking, a student earns Title IV aid based on the number of days completed during the term prior to withdrawal. Once 60% of the term has been completed, the student is considered to have earned 100% of the Title IV aid awarded. Refunds for Recipients of Veterans Benefits The refund of the unused portion of tuition, fees, and other charges for veterans or eligible persons who fail to enter a course or withdraw or discontinue prior to completion will be made for all amounts paid which exceed the approximate pro rata portion of the total charges that the length of the completed portion of the course bears to the total length of the course. The proration will be determined on the ratio of the number of days or hours of instruction completed by the student to the total number of instructional days or hours in the course.
