Make sure to print out your official course schedule from http://www.nvcc.edu/novaconnect/.
If you decide not to attend a course, you
MUST officially drop it by the “Last Day for Tuition Refund” if
you want a refund (see “Important Fall Semester Dates,” page
4). You may still withdraw until the “Last Day to
Withdraw Without Grade Penalty” (p. 4) but you will
not receive a tuition refund. |
REFUNDS
Tuition refunds are not automatic, except for courses cancelled
by the College. If you wish to drop a course, you must either use
NovaConnect or complete a form
125-28, Registration and Tuition Worksheet (located in the printed schedule or online at http://www.nvcc.edu/forms/)
and submit it to a campus Admissions and Records Office in person,
by mail, or FAX. See campus FAX numbers listed in the front of
this schedule. However the Registration and Tuition Worksheet is
submitted, it must be received in the Admissions and Records
Office by the end of posted business hours on the last published
drop
date. If the drop form is received after that date, you will not
be eligible for a tuition refund.
The last date that you may drop a course and receive
a refund is indicated in the “Important
Dates” page in the Schedule of Classes or
in the College
Calendar at http://www.nvcc.edu/calendars/.
ELI refund dates are included in the course information
sent to you by ELI. If the College cancels a course or you drop
a full 16-week semester course by September 4, 2005 (or within
the first 15% of a shorter term course), you are eligible for a
refund and the course will be deleted from your record. No
refunds will be made after the specified dates.
Only credit card payments made through the NovaConnect Web site
will receive an automatic refund to the credit card if a class
is dropped or cancelled. Credit card refunds will not be processed
at the campus Business Offices. All refunds for payments not made
on the Web are processed by the Virginia State Treasurer’s
Office after the published add/drop period and should be received
by mail within a few weeks of that date. Refund checks, except
those requested by students who presented employer contracts, will
be made payable to the student.
As provided by federal regulation, if you receive Title IV (federal
student aid) financial aid and you withdraw from all your classes
within 60% of the enrollment period, you are subject to having
a portion of your financial aid returned to the program based on
the date of your withdrawal. Such refunds are credited to the student
aid programs from which you received aid. The College’s calculated
portion of unearned aid will result in debt to the student that
blocks all College services until paid. These policies are available
from the College Financial Aid and Business Offices.
