Refunds for Financial Aid Recipients
Federal Regulations require that Federal financial aid recipients be subject to a reduction of their financial aid if they withdraw or stop attending all classes before completing 60 percent of any given semester. For further information refer to the Financial Aid section .
All financial aid recipients shall be responsible for the costs incurred for tuition, fees, books and related costs should their financial aid be revised or canceled.
Students who fail to pay an outstanding balance resulting from a change in their financial aid will be turned over to a collection agency and will be responsible for the added costs of collection, court costs and legal fees. These costs can add as much 35% to 40% to the amount already owed and will result in the disruption of your credit worthiness when the collection agency reports the account to national credit bureaus.
The College reserves the right to revise its policies and charges at any time if circumstance so warrant.
