To Be Eligible for a Refund

Students must officially withdraw from classes by the refund deadline. Refer to the Student Class Program/Web Schedule Bill on the Student tab of the MyCoast Portal page or see Dates to Remember. It is the student’s responsibility to officially withdraw from classes and to verify all withdrawals. An instructor may drop students for non-attendance. Instructors are not responsible for making sure drops are made by the refund deadline. If the student has not been dropped from the class by the instructor, the student is responsible for withdrawing from the class by the refund deadline. Students who are officially enrolled in a class after the refund deadline will not be eligible for a refund. There are no exceptions.

Refund Processing

Refunds will be automatically processed every week beginning the first week of registration of the semester in which the fees were paid and each week thereafter until the end of the term. Official withdrawals made in accordance with the refund policy and by the withdrawal deadline will generate a credit balance on the student account.

Online Credit Card Payment Refunds

Registration fee payments made by credit card through MyCoast Portal will be refunded to the same credit card used for payment. Allow 6-10 business days for the refund to post. If the credit card used to pay fees is no longer valid, it is the student’s responsibility to notify the Admissions and Records Office once the credit has been posted to the student’s account and prior to the refund being processed. The refund will be converted to a check refund upon proper notification.

All requests for review of account summary must be made within one-year grace period from the semester in which the fees were assessed. Such petitions are subject to review.
