The refund policy of the district is based on the fact that student tuition and fees provide only a fraction of the cost of offering educational opportunities. When students enroll in a class, they reserve places that cannot be made available to other students until they officially drop the class. In addition, the original enrollment of student represents a sizable cost to the district regardless of continuance in that class.
Requests for refunds will be considered based on the information you give; therefore, it is extremely important that you give a detailed explanation why you feel a refund is justified. The percentage of the refund may vary based on the amount of class attendance and/or information provided.
Only extenuating circumstances will be considered. Entitlement is based on the decision of the committee. Never attending class or dissatisfaction with course content and instruction are not grounds for special refund consideration. However, you are encouraged to contact the appropriate division dean to discuss your concerns.
Medical reasons for dropping classes do not automatically warrant a refund
.
If you are requesting a refund for a Medical Reason, you MUST include your physician’s statement confirming the date(s), severity of medical problem and other relevant information concerning your withdrawal from college in order for your petition to be considered.
If the request is due to a death in the family, a copy of the obituary or death certificate MUST be attached in order for your petition to be considered.
Requests for refunds will not be accepted AFTER the end of the semester for which the refund is sought.
Students will be notified by mail whether the petition was approved or denied.
Classes MUST be dropped before the petition will be considered.
Requests for refunds will NOT be considered for classes in which a grade was received.
Requests for refunds will be considered for Mountain View College courses only.
Cash refunds are not issued.
Most refunds are processed electronically. Financial Aid recipients’ refunds will be reimbursed to the appropriate financial aid grant or scholarship account. Should records indicate that you owe a debt to the college, your refund will not be processed until the debt is satisfied.
Refunds normally require a minimum of one month from date of approval for processing.
Refund Committee normally meets monthly.
If you feel your request warrants special consideration: (1) Complete Refund Petition Request (forms are located in the Admissions/Registrar’s Office in W140); (2) attach a copy of your Drop/Withdrawal form; and (3) attach appropriate documentation, i.e. physician’s statement for injury or illness.
