Withdrawal Policy, Procedures & Refunds

Need to drop one or more classes for the semester including a Total Withdrawal?

• Complete the electronic Add/Drop/Total Withdrawal Form.

Course Withdrawal & Refund Policy

The impact of a withdrawal depends on when the request is processed.

Tuition is based upon liable credit hours. The refund period is equal to 1/15 of a scheduled class. The information here details the financial obligation of the student based on what refund period the class withdrawal occurs.

*A $100 service fee is assessed for a total withdrawal from the college during the 1st Refund Period.

Non-Refundable Fees: Course Fees and Textbook+ Fees are considered non-refundable fees.  Both Course Fees and Textbook+ fees will not be refunded after the drop/add period has ended.

When a student withdraws from any or all credit classes during:

• Weeks 2 through 10 of class – student will receive an automatic “W”
• Weeks 11 to the end of the semester – there are no student-initiated
  withdrawals. Grades of “W,” “F,” “FS,” or “I” will be assigned by the class instructor. If a ‘W’ or ‘FS’ is assigned, the instructor must provide the student’s last date of academically-related activity at the time of grading.

Impact on Financial Aid

If a student receives any type of financial aid (grants, scholarships, and loans) and officially withdraws completely from all classes before 60% of the semester has passed, the student is required to have their financial aid prorated based on the U. S. Department of Education’s Federal Refund Policy. A student who falls under this criterion will have the appropriate percentage of financial aid returned to the appropriate fund and is responsible to pay any balance remaining on the account as a result of this calculation. If a student does not attend class and/or fails to officially withdraw, all charges are billed to the student and financial aid is cancelled.

Impact on Veterans Education Benefits

If a student is receiving Veterans Education Benefits (e.g. “GI Bill®”, Education Assistance Program (EAP) or Federal Tuition Assistance) they must notify the office of Registration/Student Records. Dropping or withdrawing may have a negative impact on Veterans Education Benefits. Students should also reference the Military Drop and Incomplete for Military Obligation policy.
