How to Qualify for a Refund:
All students who officially withdraw from the college or individual classes by the withdrawal process, will receive a refund based on the MCCCD Official Refund Schedule. Deadlines that fall on a weekend or a college holiday will advance to the next college workday. (Course fees are refundable only if the student qualifies for a 100% refund)
Refunds for students receiving federal financial assistance are subject to federal guidelines. Please contact Financial Aid for further assistance.
ALL Refunds and deposits that may be due a student will first be applied to debts that the student owes the college. When Federal student aid was used by the student recipient to pay for tuition fees, the refund will be returned to the Federal fund, not to the student.
NOTE: Stopping Payment on your check payment does not constitute official withdrawal, and will result in additional fees and collection costs.
Special Circumstances:
A request for a partial or full refund outside the above specified parameters must be made in writing to the Office of Records and Registration for the following reasons only:
A student with a serious illness, verifiable by a doctor's written statement that the illness prevents the student from attending all classes for the semester. The doctor's statement must be on file with the college before a refund will be approved and issued.
Serious illness or death of a family member that prevents the student from attending all classes for the semester. Appropriate documentation must be provided before a refund will be approved and issued.
Death of a student. Appropriate documentation must be provided before a refund can be approved and issued.
A student in the Armed Forces of the Arizona National Guard who is called to active duty and assigned to a duty station, verifiable by a copy of the orders, will be allowed to withdraw and receive a 100% refund of tuition, provided courses have not been completed.
(special and miscellaneous fees will not be refunded)
How to Obtain a Refund:
You must officially drop or withdraw from classes during the appropriate refund period in order to be eligible for a refund.
