Pro Rata Refund Policy

For those Financial Aid students who are first-time students and who withdraw on or before the 60 percent point of the enrollment period for which they are charged, the college will calculate a statutory pro rata refund.

Note: The college will also calculate The Federal Refund Policy if the above refund policies do not apply.
