2009-2010 Academic Year Refund Information (back to top)
An Official Withdrawal is defined as when a student has submitted a completed Add/Drop form to the Registration Office before the withdrawal deadline. The refund will be calculated based on the date the form is submitted rather than the last day of attendance. No refund of tuition and fees will be made beyond the current quarter.
Students who fail to attend or stop attending a course or program without notice, and do not officially withdraw will forfeit all claims to the refund of tuition and fees. The College may drop students in courses who fail to pay at the time of registration or by the tuition and fee payment due date.
Refunds for Financial Aid students may be adjusted based on the type of aid received. Contact the Financial Aid Office at 360.752.8351 for any questions.
The college may extend the refund period for students with medical reasons or for those called into military service of the United States. Written documentation must be provided for consideration for an exception. All requests for an exception to the Refund Policy must be submitted in writing to the Director of Registration and Enrollment for determination.
Refunds for payments made by cash or check will be processed through the Business Office and a check mailed within 3 weeks. Refunds for payments made by credit card will be processed back to the credit card in 2 business days. Outstanding debts to the college will be deducted from refunds.
A 100% refund will be made when the college cancels a course.
