Student Fee Refunds (Procedure 5.0450)

Purpose

To provide a mechanism for refund of student-initiated dropped classes

Procedure

In order 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 of the Drop Form (form) or on-line 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 on-line 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 College Catalog.

A full term is divided into the following: "A" session (first half of a full term); "B" session (last half of a full term); 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 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.)

Refunds will be made as follows:

* Seminole State College may refund 100% of the tuition 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 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 which 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.
