Refund Policy

Class Cancelled by the College

If a class is cancelled by the college, enrollment and/or nonresident tuition fees will be refunded in their entirety. If that cancellation results in a student’s withdrawal from the college, the mandatory fees will also be refunded.

Withdrawal from the College

If a student withdraws from the college during the first two weeks of a full-term class or during the first 10% of a short-term class, enrollment fees and/or nonresident fees will be refunded.

In order to be eligible for a refund of parking, health, accident insurance, associated student (AS) card, student center and the student representation fees, a student must withdraw from the college prior to the first day of the term for a full-term class or prior to the first day of instruction for a short-term class.

Unit Reduction

If a change of program within the first two weeks of a full-term class or during the first 10% of a short-term class results in a reduction in the number of units taken, the enrollment fee or non-resident fee will be refunded at the per-unit cost of the reduction.

A student who withdraws from a class or the college after the second week of instruction for a full-term class or the first 10% of a short-term class is not eligible for any refund.

Students who are dropped by instructors shall be eligible for a refund or credit pursuant to the District’s refund policy.

Refund Processing Fee

A charge of $10 will be collected for each refund transaction not to exceed $10 per student per semester. No charge applies for cancelled classes or over-payments. (SBCCD Administrative Procedure 5033)
