REFUNDS
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” ). You may still withdraw until the “Last
Day to Withdraw Without Grade Penalty” but
you will not receive a tuition refund. Students requesting a parking refund must return their permits to a campus parking office no later than this date or a refund of the parking fee will not be made. |
Tuition refunds are not automatic, except for
courses cancelled by the College. If you wish to drop a course,
you must either drop it using NovaConnect Web or NovaConnect Telephone,
or come to a campus Student Services Center in person before the
drop deadline. If the drop 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,” 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 January 29, 2007 (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.
Refunds for College services other than tuition payments (such
as parking permits) are handled separately from tuition refunds.
Such refund requests must be made following regulations related
to the particular service and directly to the office/department
that provided the service. They are not included in tuition refunds.
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 /or Student Services
Center Financial Aid Counselor.
