Refunds

Changes in Credit Load After Payment of Fees
Students adding classes after payment of fees are required to pay any additional fees created by the change in credit load.  Students dropping classes (but not withdrawing) will receive a 100% refund on classes dropped by the 15th class day.  A $5.00/class drop processing fee will be deducted from the refund.

For students on financial aid, please refer to the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office regarding dropping classes and withdrawing from college.

Withdrawals

Unless required by the Higher Education Act of 1965 as amended, students who withdraw from college are refunded fees in accordance with Board of Regents policy.  Most fees are partially refundable during the refund period in accordance with the refund schedule.  Installment fees, orientation fees and ID fees, among others are nonrefundable.  Student refunds are calculated from the date the application for cancellation or withdrawal is filed and not from the date of the last class attendance.  On the university campus, withdrawal forms are available in the Advising and Support Center, McMullen Hall, Room 100, and at City College in the Student Services Office.
