Tuition & Fee Refund Policy
Glen Oaks believes that students should be allowed to attend at least one class meeting without penalty. During that class meeting, students can review the detailed requirements of the course syllabus and determine if they would like to continue in the course or not. In light of this principle, the following refund policy has been adopted.
- Any student who officially drops a course or courses within the first 10 percent of the academic period may receive a full refund of 100% of tuition and fees. Students will be granted a full refund of paid tuition and fees with no academic penalty.
- Students who registered for a course that is cancelled by the College will be refunded all tuition and fees relative to the cancelled course.
- No refunds of tuition and fees will be made for withdrawals after the first 10 percent of the academic period.
- Any course section that is dropped after the stated 100% drop period will be processed as a course withdrawal (grade of W on the academic transcript) subject to the tuition and fees of the course.
- If a student does not officially drop the class(es) by the refund deadline, the charges will remain on his/her account and the student is responsible for payment and any collection costs. Not attending or not paying does not constitute an official drop. To drop and receive a refund, you must initiate an official course drop prior to the drop deadline. College employees are not responsible for submitting schedule adjustments on behalf of the student.
- A refund may not be granted if you are administratively withdrawn from the College for disciplinary or attendance reasons.
Refunds - Special Circumstances
- Induction or activation of the student into the U.S. Armed Forces.
- Death of the enrolled student or a parent, spouse or dependent.
- Verifiable incapacity, illness, or injury to the student which prevents the student from returning to school for the remainder of the semester.
