Summer Sessions – Summer and alternative session refunds will be based on the
above with these sessions being prorated as a percentage of a full session.
General Refund Policy – No refund is due on courses which are dropped unless the
total fees due for the remaining enrolled hours plus hours dropped after applicable refund
periods is less than the total amount paid for refundable fees.
Refund calculations are based on the computer processed date for courses dropped
via the web or the processed date that appears on the official change of schedule form.
Failure to follow proper procedures for dropping courses may result in forfeiting all
rights to a refund.
Refunds can be expected approximately four weeks after the date the course is
dropped.
Financial Aid Return of Title IV Funds – Students who receive assistance from Title
IV financial aid programs and drop classes may have funds returned to each grant
and/or loan account in accordance with applicable federal regulations.* For additional

*If a student does a total withdrawal, he/she may owe a portion of funds back to either Roane State
and/or the Department of Education.
Refund Appeals Process – Students may appeal a refund by submitting a written request
outlining the basis for the appeal to the Business Office. Refund appeal requests
will be decided by the Director of Fiscal and Auxiliary Services. The student will be
notified in writing of the decision within ten (10) working days of receipt of the written
appeal request. Students may appeal the decision of the Director of Fiscal and
Auxiliary Services to the President by submitting a written request for a refund appeal
review to the Vice President for Financial Services. The student will be notified in writing
of the President’s decision within ten (10) working days of receipt of the request
