Refunds of tuition and fees for courses of academic credit will be made when students withdraw from a course for which they have already paid the full tuition and have no other outstanding balance. Students who choose not to complete a course must officially withdraw from it. Tri-C is not obligated to refund students who have not withdrawn or have not paid the tuition, even if they did not attend a class. Financial aid students should contact their campus Financial Aid office to determine how withdrawing will affect their aid eligibility.
Please visit the published withdraw/refund schedule for current term information. This governs all tuition and fee liability and available refunds for full-term courses of academic credit. You may still be responsible for all or a percentage of the tuition and fee charges.
The withdraw/refund schedule for all parts of a semester and summer session will be determined in proportion to the full semester schedule. Refunds for the current term begin two weeks after the start of the term. Refunds for financial aid begin later in the term.
Full refunds of instructional, general and supplemental fees are only granted if Tri-C cancels a course or if a student withdraws during the 100% refund period (see preceding schedule).
No refunds are granted if a student is dismissed from Tri-C for disciplinary reasons.
