  • Dropping a class after the published deadline will result in loss of enrollment fees. Refund requests for ASB cards and Parking Permits must be made at  Admissions & Records by the "last day to drop with a refund" deadline. A parking permit refund requires the return of the parking permit.
  • Refunds for Credit Card payments will be returned to the student's credit card used to pay the fees. ACH payments will be refunded by check and mailed to the student's current home address on record. Check and cash payments will be refunded by check and mailed to the student's current home address on record. It is important that we have a current home address on file. 
  • Enrollment fees for short-term classes will be refunded if students drop before 10% of the scheduled class meetings have elapsed. For short-term classes that meet five days or less, students must drop before the first class meeting, in order to receive a refund.
