Any active student who is required to withdraw
from classes during his/her regular semester or summer
term due to active military obligations will be
entitled to a full refund of tuition or credit voucher
(unless paid by a state/federal agency) upon evidence
and notification to the college within the
semester or term of withdrawal.
Financial Obligations
All Triton College students have the responsibility
to make tuition and fee payments by established
due dates. The Bursar’s Office will determine when a
student is in default of a required payment. It is the
policy of the Triton Community College that the following
take place:
1. The student’s records will be sealed and not
made available to the student until all financial obligations
are met in full.
2. The student will not be permitted to enroll in
additional courses until all financial obligations are
met in full.
3. Students not meeting financial obligations
may also be referred to a collection agency. The fee
associated with the collection agency is the student’s
responsibility.
Reduced Tuition for Older Adults
Residents of the Triton College district who are 60
years of age or older may register for classes at reduced
rates any time during regular registration periods. The
reduced tuition rate is $6 per semester hour for arts and
science and career education courses. Senior citizens
over the age of 60, are also entitled to a waiver of registration
fees ($5.00 per term).
Residents of the Triton College district who are
65 years or older may enroll in regularly scheduled
courses during the late registration period without
payment of tuition under the following conditions:
1. Annual household income $12,000 or less.
