Tuition Refund Policy - Curriculum Students

In accordance with 1E SBCCC 900.98, a refund cannot be made except under the following circumstances:

• A 100 percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws prior to the first day of class(es) of the academic semester as noted in the College calendar. Also, a student is eligible for a 100 percent refund if the class in which the student is officially registered is cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.
• A 75 percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws from the class(es) prior to or on the official 10 percent point of the semester.
• For classes beginning at times other than the first week (seven calendar days) of the semester, a 100 percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws from the class prior to the first class meeting. A 75 percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws from the class prior to or on the 10 percent point of the class.
• A 100 percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws from a contact hour class prior to the first day of class(es) of the academic semester or if the college cancels the class. A 75 percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws from a contact hour class on or before the 10th calendar day of the class.

To comply with applicable federal regulations regarding refunds, federal regulations will supersede the state refund regulations stated in this rule.

If a student should die during the semester (prior to or on the last day of examinations), having paid the required tuition for a semester, all tuition and fees for that semester may be refunded to the estate of the deceased (upon request) or to the Department of Education if the student was a Pell recipient.

Note: Tuition refunds and student activity refunds will not be considered for amounts of $5 or less, except when a course fails to materialize; then all the student’s tuition and fees shall be refunded.
