regulation, “applicant shall mean a student applying for admission to the institution. If he/she is a

d. Full-time faculty and career employees of the community college system of Florida and members
of their immediate families. (This is construed to exclude the spouses of students.)
REFUNDS
Refund of tuition and fees is made under the following schedule. A student who has registered must
of cially drop a course or of cially withdraw from College to receive any refund of fees. Students who
of cially withdraw not later than the date listed in the College calendar are eligible for refunds of fees as
follows:
1. Refund of 100 percent of tuition fees will be made when classes are cancelled.
2. Refunds of 100 percent of tuition fees will be made when a student withdraws from or drops a course
before the last date to add classes. After this date no refunds will be made for courses dropped.
3. Before refunds are dispersed, any outstanding indebtedness to the College must be paid.
4. In cases of extreme personal or family hardship, or in cases involving extenuating circumstances, the
Dean of Enrollment and Student Services has the authority to waive the above regulations regarding
refunds.
5. Title IV Programs: Regulations (P.L. 105-244), enacted October 7, 1998. Reauthorization of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as annotated.
REPAYMENT OF FEDERAL GRANT FUNDS
A pro-rata repayment will be due for Title IV funds provided to students attending NFCC if withdrawal
from classes occurs during the rst sixty percent (60%) of the enrollment period. Federal regulations
require repayment of a portion of funds received by students, unless certain conditions are met. A
student who withdraws from, or stops attending all courses prior to completion of at least
60% of an enrollment period (i.e. a semester/term) WILL BE REQUIRED TO REPAY the
“unearned portion” of the funds received.
This applies to all federal grant funds received by a student. For example, a student receiving a PELL
Grant disbursement check could be required to repay the federal program as much as one-half the
amount of the disbursement unless the student attends school for more than 60% of the enrollment
period. IN ADDITION TO REPAYING A PORTION OF A DISBURSEMENT CHECK, a student will
be required to repay a portion of the award used to pay the cost of books and/or supplies
paid from grant funds.
