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.
Refunds
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 the 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. 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 address on file.
Refunds for eligible students are processed after census for full term courses, unless otherwise requested by the student. Refunds for complete withdrawals from short term courses are processed within 7 to 10 business days.
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.
