Outstanding Financial Obligations
Students who have any outstanding �nancial obligations to the College are not
permitted to register. If already registered, these students will not be permitted to
attend classes, nor will they receive grade reports, attendance reports, or transcripts
of grades, without the �nal approval of the Bursar. The Bursar is located in the
Student Payment Of�ce, Room B219, Charlestown Campus.
Bunker Hill Community College is responsible for making “diligent efforts” to collect
amounts due the state. Diligent efforts shall include written billings, dunning notices
and subsequent assignments to a collection agency. The student is responsible for
all collection costs and any fees incurred in the collection of debt and for informing
the College of any dispute regarding the debt. The College advises students that
their debts may be discharged through the intercept of any other Commonwealth
payments that are due to them or scheduled to be paid to them.
Refund Policy
Students dropping or withdrawing from classes must complete the appropriate
form available at the Admissions and Registration Desk, Room B203, Charlestown
Campus. Failure to of�cially withdraw results in a grade of F or NA in the course and
an obligation to pay in full. The schedule of refunds for tuition and general College
fees applies only when proper withdrawal or class drop procedures, as established
by the Registrar’s Of�ce, are followed. Application fees are nonrefundable. Lack of
attendance or course abandonment does not constitute a drop or withdrawal. For
speci�c refund deadlines please refer to the course schedule booklet for the semester
or session. For more information, go to Admissions and Registration Desk.
Health Insurance Refund Policy
Except for medical withdrawal due to covered injury or sickness, students
withdrawing from the College during the �rst 31 days of the period for which
coverage is purchased shall not be covered under the policy and a full refund of
the premium will be made. Students withdrawing after 31 days will remain covered
under the policy for which the premium was paid and no refund will be allowed.
Students who do not withdraw completely, but who drop below nine credit hours
within the �rst 31 days, may apply to the Student Payment Of�ce for a refund of
health insurance premiums. Registering for minisemester, web courses, Telecourses,
and Center for Self-Directed Learning courses later in the fall or spring semester may
restore the student’s obligation to carry health insurance.
Tuition Waivers
Several kinds of tuition waivers are available to Bunker Hill Community College
students. These waivers include, but are not limited to, National Guard, veterans,
senior citizens, Native Americans, state employees and wards of the state. In order to
receive a tuition discount, students must present the waiver at the time of registration.
If students present the waiver after registration, the College will make no adjustment.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts does not fund all courses; therefore, the use
of certain waivers for those unfunded courses will be restricted. Students eligible for
waivers should obtain clari�cation from the Admissions and Registration Desk before
making course selections.
