Refunds
If a course is cancelled, the college will refund tuition to the student account.
Some courses are scheduled to meet three or fewer sessions. For those courses, a refund will be issued only if the course is dropped 24 hours prior to the first class session.
In some cases, withdrawing from a class may create a tuition refund. If the withdrawal also leads to the return of State and Federal financial aid, then the tuition refund will be used to pay back the financial aid program.
