Tuition and Fee Refunds


Refunds

Liability is based on actual tuition and fees charged and is incurred beginning on the first official day of classes.  Your liability starts on that day, regardless of whether or not you have classes on that day.  A withdrawal after the first day of classes may result in your still having a liability to the College if you did not pay your tuition and fees in full.  In addition, withdrawing may adversely affect any financial aid you were entitled to and may also result in your having a balance due the college.

Note:  Fees (student activities fees, technology fees, Academic Excellence Fees, etc.) are not refundable once classes have officially started.

For payments made in person at the bursar window:  a refund check will be issued and mailed to the address on file.  TO ENSURE TIMELY ARRIVAL OF YOUR REFUND CHECK, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR CORRECT, CURRENT ADDRESS IS ON OUR FILES, INCLUDING YOUR APARTMENT NUMBER.  If you move, please make sure that you update your records with the Registrar’s Office.

For payments made online with checking or savings account or credit card:  You do not have to apply for a refund.  Refunds will be automatically issued to the bank account or credit card.  For refunds that occur after the end of the semester, a refund check will be mailed to the address on our files.

NOTE THAT OUR SYSTEM WILL NOT ISSUE REFUNDS IN EXCESS OF $20,000.  IF YOU ARE EXPECTING A LARGE REFUND, IT WILL BE ISSUED TO YOU IN 2 OR MORE INSTALLMENTS.
