Parking permit refunds will be issued prior to the established deadline of the term in which the permit was issued, provided the permit is presented to the Business Office at the time the request is made. Requests for refunds after the deadline must be based upon extenuating circumstances only.

Refunds for Dropped Classes

Refund deadlines for Winter session and for Summer classes vary by class length; request information from the Admissions and Records Office or the campus Administrative Office nearest you. Refund checks will automatically be mailed to eligible students. If a class is cancelled by the college, all enrollment fees will be refunded to the students who had registered and paid for it. If applicable, a refund processing fee of $10.00 per student per semester will be subtracted before the refund is issued.
