Credit Courses:

Any student who registers for a term and later decides not to attend, must notify the Registrar’s Office in writing or use HawkNET to withdraw from classes prior to July 1 for the fall semester, by the business day preceding the start of the spring semester, and by the business day preceding the start of each summer session to receive a refund of the $50. After these dates, the deposit is not refundable.

If a student is registered for two credit hours or less for the Semester and the student cancels his/her registration by submitting a written request to the Registrar’s Office or utilizing HawkNET to withdraw fro class(es) prior to the first class meeting, tuition and fees will be refunded in full.

Once a term begins, the student must officially withdraw from a class or classes they are not attending by completing a Drop/Add Form or Withdrawal Form and submitting the completed form to the Registrar’s Office. Depending on the length of the course, the student may be able to withdraw from courses on-line utilizing HawkNET. The date the form is received by the Registrar’s Office, or the date the withdrawal is completed on HawkNET, is the date used to calculate the refund. Refund checks are generally issued within two or three weeks of the form being received. The check will be mailed to the student at his/her permanent address, unless the student has provided a billing or local address to the College.

If a student has received financial aid, a tuition refund will be used to restore amounts to the aid programs involved. All educational costs incurred up to the time of withdrawal will be considered in determining any additional overpayment of aid. Financial aid repayment is established according to federal regulations pertaining to federal student aid.

Non-credit Courses

Requests for refunds must be made through the Registrar's Office or Regional Coordinator prior to the first class meeting. Material fees are not refundable, except in courses canceled by the college.

If any portion of the tuition and fees payment was charged to a credit card, any refunds will be credited to the credit card account. All remaining credit balance refunds will be paid to the student by check. Refund checks are generally issued within two or three weeks from the date the withdrawal form is received. The check will be mailed to the student.

Addresses

The Student Information System allows students to designate a billing address, which will be used for all statement mailings. If a billing address is not designated, local addresses will be used during the first and second semester. If a local or billing address is not designated, the permanent address will be used. Permanent addresses will be used for statements mailed in August and December. Students may change their billing address online or come to the Business Office to designate a billing address. Please designate an "in care of" name to list with the billing address if applicable. The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) may reroute your bill if you have filed a change of address form with the USPS.

Due Date

Payment deadlines are the first day of each term. A HOLD on the academic records of students is placed on all delinquent accounts.
