Refund of Tuition and Fees

Schedule Adjustment Refunds --Students who have a reduction in hours scheduled during the first four class days (first two class days in the summer) will be issued a refund based on the per credit hour amount of tuition and fees assessed for the number of hours dropped.  No refunds will be issued for a reduction in credit hours after this date.  Students who have an increase in hours scheduled during the first four class days (first two class days in the summer) will be required to pay the additional per credit hour tuition and fees at the time of the schedule adjustment.   

Resignation  Refunds -- Any student who resigns, i.e, completes a resignation form dropping ALL classes, will be awarded a refund according to the following schedule in accordance with the federal guidelines for repayment of federal funds.

A student who registers after the 100% refund period ends and resigns will receive a refund in accordance with the date of the resignation.

A refund resulting from a resignation will be processed provided the student completes the written resignation process prior to the designated deadline.

If SLCC cancels a class for any reason, students enrolled in the class will receive a full refund of tuition and fees paid for the canceled class.

Refunds Policy for Veterans Administration recipients -- South Louisiana Community College has and maintains a policy for the refund of the unused portion of tuition, fees, and other charges in the event the veteran or an eligible person fails to enter the courses or withdraws or is discontinued there from at any time prior to completion.  This policy provides that the amount charged to the veteran or eligible person for tuition, fees, and other charges for a portion of the course shall not exceed the appropriate pro rata portion of the total charges for tuition, fees, and other charges that the length of the completed portion of the course bears to its total length.  The amount should not vary more than 10% of the exact pro rata amount.  (Approved under Title 38 USC 3676, effective June 7, 2004 by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs).

Tuition Refund Appeals -- A student who wishes to appeal a resignation refund (or lack thereof) must present a written letter of appeal to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee.  Supporting documentation should be attached.  The student will be notified in writing of the decision of the Committee.  A student who wishes to challenge the decision of the Committee may make a final appeal to the Chancellor of the College.

No refunds are given when a student’s transfer records indicate that s/he has been suspended or dismissed for academic, disciplinary, or financial reasons.  Refunds will be applied to any existing indebtedness to the College prior to disbursement to a student.
