Business Information
72 ROANE STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Special Exceptions – Some Community Services non-credit courses, conferences,
workshops, or seminars may have special deadlines and/or requirements established for
registration or refunds. Registrants should check all literature received on the activity
for exceptions to the general policies.
Centers for Training Refund Policy – The Centers for Training and Development
(CTD) consist of three “Centers” within Roane State’s Continuing Education division,
the Center for Business and Industry, the Center for Computer Training and
Professional Development and the Center for Health Sciences. CTD strives for
“Excellent Customer Service” and will work to ensure this happens by offering credible,
timely courses led by field expert consultants. Our goal is to make lifelong learning
exciting and worth your investment of both time and money. To do this we design
our classes to “make” with a small number of participants and therefore it is critical that
we know the commitment of each course registration. Our Refund Policy serves participants
by providing a 100% refund when CTD personnel are notified of a cancellation
within 48 hours of the event, workshop, course, etc. It also serves the participants
in the class by letting CTD decide two days in advance if the class will “make” or not.
BOOKS AND SUPPLIES
The cost of books and supplies will vary from one program to another. The
Bookstore sells both new and used books. Students are encouraged to take advantage
of savings which result when purchasing used books. The estimated cost of books and
supplies is $250-$400 per semester. The College Bookstore will buy back used books
in good usable condition in quantities limited to the anticipated needs for ensuing semesters.
Book buy back periods are announced at the end of each semester. Students
selling books back to the bookstore will be required to furnish a Roane State
Community College ID card.
CHECK CASHING/ACCEPTANCE POLICY
Both the Bookstore and the Business Office provide a free check cashing service.
Personal checks may be cashed for any amount up to $10 for students and up to $20
for faculty/staff. However, 1) only one personal check per day may be cashed, 2) two
party checks will not be accepted, 3) student checks will not be cashed by either the
Business Office or the Bookstore anytime during the final two weeks of the semester
and 4) a validated ID card is required.
A $20 fine will be levied on all “returned checks.” The return of a third check will
result in the person’s name being placed on the “no check list” and forfeiture of check
cashing privileges.
If a check written for payment of a student’s maintenance fee is returned, the student
has (10) days in which to make restitution to the college via payment by cash, certified
check, cashier’s check, or postal money order. Failure to make such restitution
will result in immediate disenrollment. Suspension from classes could also result from
checks returned on the purchase of books or payment of other fees.
Until all financial obligations are satisfied, the student becomes ineligible for all
benefits and services provided by the college such as receiving grades, receiving or
sending transcripts, registering, and graduating.
The college reserves the right to refuse to cash any check. Appeals concerning the
cashing of checks may be made to the Vice President for Financial Services.
