A written request from the student is not required to process a refund in this instance.
Payment Guidelines for Students
A. Failure to pay any balance in full by the end date of a class may result in the account being placed with a
collection agency. Students are responsible for all collection and/or legal fees associated with accounts placed
with collection. Holds that restrict registration, release of grades, results, and/or certificates of completion may be
placed on accounts with a balance remaining after the class has ended.
B. Students are assessed a fee for all returned checks and/or credit card chargebacks due to insufficient funds,
unauthorized use, cancelled card, or fraud. The fee is $25 or five percent of the amount of the returned check/
credit card chargeback, whichever is greater. Only in the case of a bank or card issuer error will the returned
check/credit card chargeback penalties be removed. After the College has exhausted its attempts to notify the
student, failure to pay the returned check or credit card chargeback and additional charges may subject the student
to an administrative withdrawal from classes and his/her account may be submitted to a collection agency.
