Refund Policy*
General Information: To receive a refund, the student must be officially dropped from a course or there must be a College action, such as a course cancellation. The drop date will be determined by the date on the Drop Form or online self-service transaction date, as received by the Records and Registration Office. To be eligible for a refund for a student-initiated drop, add/drop forms or an online self-service transaction must be received prior to the end of the add/drop period for each term and session, as published in the Seminole State Catalog (see Academic Calendar).
A Full Term is divided into:
- A Session (first half of a full term);
- B Session (last half of a full term);
- Odd Term (OT) Session (occurs within the Full Term and has a predetermined start and end date. OT sessions may start and end at any time, and they may last for a day, week, month or more);
- Open Entry/Exit (OEE) Session (occurs within the Full Term and has a predetermined start and end period. These classes are normally learner-paced, and the student may enter and exit within the predetermined start and end period.).

*Seminole State College may refund 100 percent of tuition and fees after the published refund deadline if a student withdraws from a course(s) due to an emergency or extraordinary circumstances. Emergency or extraordinary circumstances must be determined by the College to be exceptional and beyond the student's control and may include, but are not limited to: serious illness, death, involuntary call to active military duty, or other emergency circumstances or extraordinary situations. No refund will be approved unless the student provides the necessary documentation that supports the reason for a refund. If documentation cannot be provided, the request for refund cannot be considered. Students must file a petition prior to the beginning of classes for the next successive term. Failure to file the petition in a timely manner will be considered as a reason for the denial of the request.
