Refund Policy
Cancellation is effective on the date written notice of cancellation is sent. A refund will be made within 30 days after the effective date. Fees (registration, materials, STRF, and activities) are nonrefundable. The student will not get a refund after more than 60% of the instruction has been presented. For students who have completed 60% or less of the instruction period, the refund shall be on a pro rata basis. The exact amount of prorated refund will be based on the formula listed below. The following table provides the estimated amount of refund at each point of withdrawal:
For example: if a student withdraws a course after 18 hours out of 45 hours (3 credits x 15 weeks) and its tuition is $750, the refund will be: $750 – $750 x 18/45 credit hours = $450. Students may complete the withdrawal procedure by submitting a signed add/drop card to the Office of the Registrar to be eligible for a refund. NOTE: Students must follow the withdrawal procedure to be officially withdrawn from a course. Failure to do so could result in the student being charged and receiving a failing grade in the class. The student will not get a refund after more than 60% of the instruction has been presented.
