REFUND POLICY FOR COURSE CHANGES No tuition refunds will be granted for individual classes dropped after the close of registration or for private music lessons dropped after the fourth full week of the semester. However, courses changed or canceled by the college that affect tuition and course-related fees will be fully refunded.
REFUND POLICY FOR WITHDRAWAL Students who find it necessary to withdraw from college after registration may be entitled to a tuition refund. A withdrawal card is available in the Office of the Registrar. Students are responsible to initiate the withdrawal, obtain the necessary signatures on their withdrawal card, and return it to the registrar. The date it is returned is the effective date of withdrawal. Refund of tuition (including summer) is prorated. A refund schedule is available to anyone requesting it in the business and financial aid offices of the college. Exceptions to the refund schedule may be petitioned to the Administrative Team. Petition forms are available in the Business Office. Complete the form, including the reason for requesting an exception and send the completed form to the Chief Business Officer in the Business Office who will submit it to the Administrative Team. Residential fees are based on a semester contract and refunds are prorated until the published mid-semester date. There are no refunds after mid-semester. Financial aid awards will be refunded to the programs according to the schedule published in the Consumer Information Handbook. Note 1: A class day is counted as any day classes are scheduled according to the academic schedule. Note 2: Fee schedules and costs for the degree completion program offered in the Department of Adult Studies are different.
RESIDENCE HALL CONTRACT AND HOUSING DEPOSIT Students living in campus housing will sign a housing contract at the time of check-in. Students who plan to live on campus pay a $100 housing deposit which must be submitted to the Admissions Office by May 1. If an applicant is accepted for admission after May 1, he or she has four weeks to submit the housing deposit. The deposit is refundable prior to the May 1 deadline. Students should fill out a housing preference form and turn it in with the housing deposit. The housing deposit reserves a space in campus housing. Every effort is made to grant housing requests made by returning students and those new students who submit housing deposit fees prior to May 1. Those who make payments after May 1 will be accommodated as space allows. The college generally is able to house all students who wish to live on campus, but may not be able to fulfill all specific room requests. Before leaving on-campus housing, students must be officially checked out by a Resident Assistant and approved by the Resident Director. Failure to get this approval will result in a check-out fine.
