Refund Policy for Complete Withdrawal

No refund will be given to a student who is administratively dismissed. 

The refund schedule based on the complete withdrawal date for tuition is as follows:

Day of WithdrawalPercentage of refund
Prior to the first day of classes of the trimester100%
Including the first day of classes of the trimester
and up to the tenth weekday of the trimester
75%
Beyond the tenth weekday of the trimester
and up to the twenty-fifth weekday of the trimester
50%
Beyond the twenty-fifth weekday of the trimester0%

The refund is calculated on the student’s maximum course load tuition (the original registration plus any added course but not less any dropped courses nor partial withdrawals). None of the fees charged for enrollment, except for tuition, shall be refundable in the event of withdrawal. All books and other materials purchased by the student are the property of the student. The College shall not accept returned materials nor make refund for services. A TCC refund and a “Financial Aid Return of Funds” is not the same thing. Contact the Financial Aid Office for more details about a “Financial Aid Return of Funds. “After the TCC refund is calculated, a federally mandated formula is applied to determine if funds must be returned to financial aid programs. If required, funds are returned to federal programs:

  • Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans
  • Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loans
  • Other federal, state, or institutional sources of aid

The student will be charged for the amount of the TCC return of financial aid funds. The Business Office releases excess funds to withdrawn students due refunds after the financial aid return is calculated and charged to the student’s account. The former student may have a delinquent account which, if not paid, may be sent to collections. Any collection costs will be added to the outstanding balance.
