Refunds

If you find it necessary to withdraw from college, you must complete a withdrawal form in consultation with a counselor from the Student Development Office. Failure to attend class, notifying an office other than the Registrar's Office, or simply notifying the instructor is not an official withdrawal and as such does not qualify you for a refund. You may submit your withdrawal form to the Registrar's Office or the Fulton Campus. Tuition refunds are determined by the date notification is received in the Registrar's Office. Refund schedule information is included in each semester's schedule of classes and is also available from the Registrar's and Business offices.

Students receiving federal financial aid, including loans, who withdraw (officially or unofficially) before completing 60% of the semester will be subject to the federal return of Title IV funds calculation. This calculation is based on the percentage of the semester completed; generally the student is required to repay a portion of the federal financial aid which has been paid to the student. This calculation is mandated and must be applied regardless of the circumstances for withdrawal.
