Student Tuition and Fees Refunds

Student Responsibility to Drop Classes
You will not be automatically dropped from your classes after the semester begins.  Students who have enrolled for classes and decide not to attend must drop classes by the date shown in the table below to avoid fee charges.  Classes dropped after this period will appear on the student record with a "W" grade.

You may drop classes BY COMPUTER or by telephone.  After the 2nd week of the Fall or Spring full term semester class or after the first class meeting in a Summer session, you will incur a financial obligation to the college and an administrative hold will be placed on your student records until fees are paid.  (Any unpaid fees as a result of a dishonored check or other outstanding debt will be handled in the same manner.) 

DROP CLASSES BY THE FOLLOWING DATE TO AVOID ACADEMIC HOLD AND "W" GRADE!
