Refund Policy

Refund Policy (subject to change)

General Information: To receive a refund, the student must officially drop 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 Enrollment Services 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 SCC Catalog (see Academic Calendar).

A Full Term is divided into an A Session (first half of a full term); a B Session (last half of a full term); an Odd Term (OT) Session (OT Sessions occur within the Full Term and have 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.); and an Open Entry/Exit (OEE) Session (OEE Sessions occur within the Full Term and have a predetermined start and end period; however, these classes are normally learner-paced and the student may enter and exit within the predetermined start and end period.).

Emergency or extraordinary circumstances must be determined by the College to be exceptional and beyond the student's control and may include, but not be 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 may be considered as a reason for the denial of the request.
