The student may receive a refund under the following conditions:
» 100 percent refund of tuition and fees - when courses or programs are cancelled by the college.
» 100 percent refund of tuition and fees
- through the fifth (5th) instructional class day of the quarter when a student officially withdraws from class.
» Forty (40) percent refund of tuition only (no fees will be refunded after the 100 percent refund period ends) - when official withdrawal occurs after the fifth (5th) instructional day of the quarter through the end of the refund period (see next bullet).
