There is a $10.00 processing fee for all refund requests (California Administrative Code 58508). Refunds for canceled classes will be honored only if requested during the term in which the classes were canceled. No monetary credit is carried forward to subsequent terms.

Refunds for Enrollment Fees, Non-resident/International Student Tuition, Parking, Material and Health Fees will be made, minus the processing fee, for program changes and withdrawals from the College which are recorded in writing with A&R by census day. No refunds are made for reduction of the program after census day. For classes that begin after the normal semester start day, refunds will be granted if the withdrawal is recorded in A&R on or before 10% of the class is over. Refer to the term schedule of classes for specific deadline dates.

No refunds of any type will be granted until all other financial obligations to the District have been satisfied. Refunds normally take 6 - 8 weeks after the deadline to process and are mailed directly to the student.

Students may choose to donate refunds to the District Foundation for student scholarships or College support. Such donations are tax deductible. Textbooks: check with the Bookstore for refund policies on textbooks.

Students are responsible for clearing all obligations to the college. Students who do not clear all obligations will be denied further service by the college and District until obligations are cleared.

Students who have holds on their records will not be able to register for subsequent semesters.

If you are facing financial difficulties, please seek assistance as soon as possible. Timely payment is crucial, as failure to pay may lead to academic and immigration consequences. For more information, visit the Drop for Nonpayment page.
