REFUND POLICY
If you withdraw early in the quarter, you might receive
a full or partial refund. Not attending a class does not
make you eligible for a refund. A refund will occur only
when you officially drop within the refund period by
completing an Add/Drop form. Refunds cannot normally
be arranged by telephone. Students forfeit all claims to
refund of tuition and fees if they fail to withdraw from a
course, or are suspended or terminated for misconduct.
Refunds are distributed depending on how you pay.
If you pay with a credit card, the refund will go to that
credit card account; if you pay by cash or check, the
refund check will be mailed to you. Refunds of online
Student Payment Plan payments will be made by check
from the college. Refunds of less than $5 will not be
mailed. Allow up to six weeks for processing. For federalor
state-funded students, financial aid will be returned
to aid programs on a pro-rata basis consistent with
applicable federal and state rules.

EXCEPTIONS
Refunds for state-supported classes that start after the
first week of the quarter or short courses that end early
will be made using the same refund percentages as
above. The refund schedule will be adjusted based on a
ratio of the number of classes that have occurred at the
time of withdrawal to the total number of class sessions.
Washington On-Line (WAOL) courses use WAOL quarter
dates for refund percentages.
OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL DEFINITION
Official withdrawal occurs when a student drops all
classes. Refund requests must be made in person, in
writing, or via the Web.
PASS-THROUGH FEES REFUND
Fees such as insurance that are passed through to
another agency may be refunded at 100 percent through
the first week of the quarter only. No refund will be made
if any insurance claim has been filed.
