Fall and Spring Semesters - Credit Courses

• If tuition has been paid by cash, check or credit card, or financial aid has been accessed from the government to pay the account, you may be entitled to a refund if timely drop slips or withdrawal documentation is submitted to the Registrar's Office (ext. 7622).
• The date on which the Registrar receives the forms will be used to determine refunds.
• A verbal notice by a student to an instructor, advisor, or any FLCC staff member does not constitute a formal course withdrawal or drop.
• Lack of attendance does not reduce tuition and fees; therefore, timely withdrawals or drops slips will ensure proper credit to you student account.
• To receive a 100% refund of already paid tuition and fees, the completed forms must be received by the Registrar's Office as follows:

• For credit courses 15 weeks or more, one business day prior to the official semester start date.
• The schedule for tuition refund for credit courses 15 weeks or more is as follows:

• For credit courses less than 15 weeks, one business day prior to the official start date of the classes.
• The schedule for tuition refund for credit courses less than 15 weeks is as follows:
  The only refund allowed are the ones that result from course cancellation or timely filed withdrawals or drop slips completed and processed one business day prior to the start date of the classes.

• If courses are canceled by the College which changes your status from full- to part-time, the appropriate tuition and fees will be refunded. If a student changes from full to part-time status (11 or less credit hours/semester) after the semester has started, refund will be issued according to the schedule for tuition refund.

Refund Policy for Students Receiving Federal Financial Aid Awards

Federal regulations (the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, regulation 34 CFR part 668.22) require each school to have a written policy for the refund and repayment of Federal Title IV aid received by students who withdraw during a term for which Title IV aid payment has been received. These policies are effective only if the student completely terminates enrollment (i.e., cancels his/her registration, withdraws, or is dismissed) or stops attending classes before completing more than 60 percent of the enrollment period. Therefore, attendance through more than 60% of the enrollment period is required to keep established Federal and State financial aid intact. Non-attendance may result in a financial obligation.  Please refer to the College Catalog, contact the Bursar's Office (ext. 7229), or review their bulletin board for details and more information.
