Tuition Refund Guidelines
All requests to drop or withdraw from courses must be submitted via the online Form 160 found on the web site and must be received by midnight CST (central standard time) on the day of the refund deadline, specified for each following class format. All fees paid are non-refundable. Students who are dismissed, or removed from class by the college as a result of an academic violation, are not eligible for a refund of any kind (tuition and fees included).
