Continuing Education Registration Fee Refunds

Unless otherwise required by law, community colleges shall not issue a registration fee refund using State funds except under the following circumstances:

1. A college shall provide a 100 percent refund to the student if the student officially withdraws or is officially withdrawn by the college from the course section prior to the first course section meeting.
2. A college shall provide a 100 percent refund to the student if the college cancels the course section in which the student is registered.
3. After a regularly scheduled course section begins, the college shall provide a 75 percent refund upon the request of the student if the student officially withdraws or is officially withdrawn by the college from the course section prior to or on the 10 percent point of the scheduled hours of the course section. This sub-section applies to all course sections except those course sections that begin and end on the same calendar day. Colleges shall not provide a student a refund using State funds after the start of a course section that begins and ends on the same calendar day.
4. After a non-regularly scheduled course section begins, the college shall provide a 75 percent refund upon the request of the student if the student withdraws or is withdrawn by the college from the course section prior to or on the 10th calendar day after the start of the course section.
5. Registration fees for self-supporting classes are non-refundable once the class begins.
6. Local fees, such as malpractice insurance, accident insurance, drug screen fees, criminal background check fees, and CPR card fees are non-refundable once the class begins.
