Tuition and Fee Refunds

Refunds are authorized by the Washington State Legislature. The college policy offers the maximum refunds allowed by state law.

There is an $10.00 processing fee for refunds.

Certain fees are non-refundable

• Students withdrawn for disciplinary reasons will not be eligible for a refund.
• The refund policy does not apply to self-support courses or to noncredit Continuing Education courses (these courses may have a separate refund procedure; students should check the Continuing Education website for details).
• Tuition refunds for students receiving financial aid are processed by the Financial Aid Office and are generally returned to the program which paid the tuition.
• Complete withdrawals are processed using the federally-mandated Return of Title IV Funds for federal financial aid and a similar return occurs for state financial aid.

The college begins to process refunds after the third day of classes. Students may request a refund earlier by visiting or contacting cashiering. See the academic calendar for cut-off dates for 100% and 50% refunds. The payment method for refunds is made according to the payment method used for the original payment. If the initial payment was charged to a credit card, the refund is processed back to that credit card. Cash and check payments are refunded by check. No checks will be processed for refunds that are less than $25; refund balances may be applied to future quarters, unless the original payment was made by a third party with other instructions. Outstanding debts to the college will be deducted from refunds. Any refund balance remaining after 8 quarters will be forfeited.

For fall, winter, and spring quarters, withdrawals are refunded as follows:
