Refunds for Enrollment Fees, Non-resident/International Student Tuition, Parking,

and withdrawals from the College which are recorded in writing with A&R by census
day. No refunds are made for reduction of the program after census day. For classes
that begin after the normal semester start day, refunds will be granted if the withdrawal
is recorded in A&R on or before 10% of the class is over. Refer to the term schedule

to process and are mailed directly to the student.

or College support. Such donations are tax deductible. Textbooks: check with the Bookstore

are returned or their replacement cost paid.

Students are responsible for clearing all obligations to the college. Students who
do not clear all obligations will be denied further service by the college and District
until obligations are cleared.
Students who have holds on their records will not be able to register for subsequent
semesters.
