General Information

Refund Procedure

  1. Institutional Refund Procedures

All students must officially withdraw from classes in order to receive a full or partial refund.  To officially withdraw, a student must complete a Drop/Add/ Withdrawal Form and turn it in to the Student Records Office located on the Airport or Beltline campus.  After processing the Drop/Add/Withdrawal Form, the yellow copy must be turned in to the Cashier's Office.  The Drop/Add/Withdrawal Forms may be obtained at the Student Information Centers and the Student Records Office on each campus.

Web enabled students may officially withdraw via the web.

Payment will be required if a student does not attend class(es) (no show) and does not officially withdraw.  Students will be billed for classes and the debt will be processed through the College's collection procedures, if payment is not received.

Refunds will take approximately 3-4 weeks to process.  The amount of the refund will be based on the date the completed form is received by the Student Records Office, according to the Institutional Refund Schedule below.  All fees are nonrefundable.
