Appendix B College Drop Refund Policy

Effective Fall 2023

The Drop Refund Policy approved by the CCAC Board of Trustees, establishes the criteria by which students will be eligible to receive a refund of or other adjustment to tuition and fee charges when the student subsequently drops the course(s) for which they have previously registered.  

Students who do not plan to attend courses for which they have previously registered must submit an official course drop request through the College’s Registration and Advising Office in accordance with the published Academic Calendar dates for the term.  Students who do not submit an official drop request will remain financially responsible for all tuition and fees associated with the course(s) for which they have registered as detailed in the CCAC Student Financial Responsibility Agreement, even if the student never attends the course.

Students who follow the registration procedures and complete the course drop request process through the Registration and Advising Office will be eligible for an adjustment of the tuition and fee charges for the course(s) dropped as follows:

• Students who drop a course within one week of the first scheduled day of the session will be eligible to receive a 100% adjustment to or refund of tuition and fees (excluding accident and malpractice insurance fees) for the course.  
• Students who drop a course during the period after the first week of the session until the session is 14% complete will be eligible to receive a 50% adjustment to or refund of tuition and 100% of fees (excluding accident and malpractice insurance fees) for the course.  
• Students who drop a course after the 14% completion date of the session will not be eligible for any adjustment to or refund of tuition and fees for the course, and will remain financially responsible for all charges associated with the course. 

Special Notes:

• Students should refer to the Academic Calendar for specific drop dates.
• Some classes are scheduled as part of a shorter session.  Each of the shorter sessions will have their own drop dates.  
• In cases of course cancellation by the college, an adjustment equal to 100% of tuition and fees will be given.  
• Students suspended for academic or disciplinary reasons, and found to be in violation of established college policy, will not be entitled to an adjustment or refund of tuition and fees.
