Fee Explanation
If a check is returned by the bank, a hold will be placed on the student’s record
in addition to a $15 fee. The students are expected to pay the outstanding fees within
10 business days. If the fees are not paid an additional $10 fee will be charged
to the student record. The only acceptable forms of payment for these fees are cash,
money order, or cashier’s check.
To be eligible for a refund of enrollment fees, students must drop classes by the
published deadline.
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.
This exemption applies to the following.
