Refunds

Refund Policy

I.  It is the policy of the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education that students or appropriate sponsoring agencies receive a fair and equitable refund of tuition and other institutional charges upon the student's withdrawal from the College or net reduction of credit hours.  Institutional charges are defined as tuition; room and/or board; equipment and/or books and supplies, if costs are separately identified or the College requires students to purchase items from a college affiliated vendor; and fees, required of all students, or categories of students, and are related to the student's program of study, excluding items of a pass through nature.  See VA Refunds.

II.  Except as provided in Section I, institutional charges for a semester term will be refunded at the following rates:

Students who never attend a class for which they are enrolled will be considered to have constructively withdrawn before the start of term.

A student's official withdrawal date is the date the student initiates the withdrawal process.

Refunds for terms that vary in length from the semester term will be in proportion to the semester term refund schedule delineated in I and II.

Returned Checks

All returned checks will have a $30.00 return check fee added to the student account.  Any returned checks not paid within the specified 10 day time period will be turned over to the authorities for legal action. Payments are due in full. No partial payments will be accepted.
