Campus Living Housing Refunds The Housing Security deposit may be refunded after the student moves from his/her apartment and after the following conditions have been met: room inspection; clearance with the Housing Office; return of all keys; and fulfillment of lease agreement. No reduction in fees can be made for late entry during a registration period. Students who vacate housing at any time prior to the end of the semester continue to be responsible for payment of the entire semester’s rent according to the terms of the lease agreement. A portion of the security deposit may be refunded if the semester rent has been paid in full and certain other conditions are met (see “Housing”) in the Housing section of this catalog. If housing is not available, the security deposit will be refunded. In the event you do not attend TSTC, submit a written notice to the Housing Office at least 30 days prior to the first day of class in order to obtain a deposit refund. Approximately four weeks are required to process refunds. The security deposit is forfeited unless the payments for the entire contract period have been paid in full. There are limited reasons that a student may break a lease agreement. Should circumstances arise that would necessitate a cancellation, the student will need to contact the Housing Office/ Associate Dean of Student Services. Even with an approved reason, students must comply with the proper check-out procedures before the agreement can be terminated.
Refund of Other Fees No refunds are given for installment plan fees. No refunds are given for health insurance, malpractice insurance, and other miscellaneous student-requested fees after expenses have been incurred by the college.
