GENERALPOLICY Statement of Policy: Each student registered at York College is responsible for knowing the requirements and the regulations of the college catalog. Unfamiliarity with these regulations does not constitute a valid reason for failure to abide by or fulfill them. Cash refunds will only be disbursed after all obligations with the college are satisfied. Changes: The college reserves the right to change programs offered, degree requirements and academic regulations. The college reserves the right to alter the fee structure, tuition, or room and board charges at any time during the year should circumstances require a change. Every effort consistent with quality education and service will be made to keep expenses at a minimum. Courses Cancelled by the Vice President for Academic Affairs within the Add/Drop Period for which no replacement is found, will have full tuition and fees refunded. Courses cancelled later in the term will receive pro rata credit rounded to the nearest integer for work completed. Tuition will be refunded at the pro rata reciprocal of the credit granted. Students who qualify for the educational assistance programs of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) should make arrangements in advance through the Registrar. Transcripts will be furnished upon the written request signed by the student (not parent or account payer), provided all York College accounts are paid.

No diploma or certificate will be released for students who have not paid their accounts in full to York College (except a student loan payable to York College that is not yet paid off but is current).
