Tuition and Other Refunds

Refunds

Other Fees (Activity Fee, Technology Fee, etc.)

These fees are collected at registration and will be refunded only in the event of a 100% withdrawal by the student prior to the beginning of the semester/term or in the event that a class in which the student is officially registered fails to materialize due to insufficient enrollment. All student refund requests will be disbursed two weeks from receipt in the Business Office.

Tuition Refunds

If a student has to withdraw from the College or drop a class(es), tuition refunds may be granted. Requests for tuition refunds must be made to Student Services.

A tuition refund shall not 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 term as noted in the Academic Calendar . Also, a student is eligible for a 100 percent refund if the class in which the student is officially registered fails to materialize 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 term.
• For classes beginning at times other than the first week (seven calendar days) of the term, 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.
• Refunds are not permitted by law, under any circumstances, after the 10 percent point of the term

Additionally, where a student, having paid the required tuition for a term dies during the term, (prior to or on the last day of examination at the College the student was attending), all tuition and fees for the term may be refunded to the estate of the deceased. Since a curriculum student is charged hour-for-hour up to 16 credit hours, a refund is not applicable unless the credit hours enrolled were reduced to less than 16.

Students who are attending MCC for the first time and receive Title IV funds are subject to pro-rata refund as specified by the U. S. Department of Education. Should such a student withdraw on or before the 60 percent point of the semester, MCC will utilize either the current state policy or pro-rata refund (whichever calculates the larger refund.)

Refunds made on behalf of financial aid recipients at MCC must be distributed in the following order:

1. Federal Pell Grant
2. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
3. Other student financial aid programs
4. Other federal, state, private or institutional sources of aid
5. The student
