Policy
Refund
Policy
If a student withdraws
from class(es) prior to
the 10% point of the class(es),
SCC will calculate the
student's refund amount
using the state refund
policy as stated below. |
| 1. |
A refund
shall not be made except
under the following circumstances: |
| |
(A) |
A 100% refund shall
be made if the student
officially withdraws prior
to the first day of class(es)
of the academic semester
or term as noted in the
college calendar. Also,
a student is eligible
for a 100% refund if the
class in which the student
is officially registered
fails to “make”
due to insufficient enrollment. |
| |
(B) |
A 75% refund shall be
made if the student officially
withdraws from the class(es)
prior to or on the official
10% point of the semester. |
| |
(C) |
For classes beginning
at times other than the
first week (seven calendar
days) of the semester
a 100% refund shall be
made if the student officially
withdraws from the class
prior to the first class
meeting. A 75% refund
shall be made if the student
officially withdraws from
the class prior to or
on the 10 percent point
of the class. |
| |
(D) |
A 100% refund shall
be made if the student
officially withdraws from
a contact hour class prior
to the first day of class
of the academic semester
or term or if the college
cancels the class. A 75%
refund shall be made if
the student officially
withdraws from a contact-hour
class on or before the
tenth calendar day of
the class. |
| 2. |
To comply
with applicable federal
regulations regarding
refunds, federal regulations
supersede the state refund
regulations stated in
this Rule. |
| 3. |
Where a
student, having paid the
required tuition for a
semester or term, dies
during the semester (prior
to or on the last day
of examinations of the
college the student was
attending), all tuition
and fees for that semester
or term may be refunded
to the estate of the deceased. |
State Refund Policy
Southwestern Community College
does not have an approved
Accrediting Agency Refund
Policy.
Non-Title IV Recipients
The refund policy for students
not receiving Title IV
financial aid is the same
as the State Refund Policy
statement above.
