Refund Policy

Academic Refunds

Academic refunds are usually processed after the second week of the term start date.  In order to be eligible for a refund of tuition and fees, students must drop or withdraw from courses by the specified refund deadline.  Each session within a semester offers students an opportunity to drop at 100% or 50%.  See the current course schedule for specific refund dates by session. Students that withdraw from classes after the refund period receive no reduced rate and are responsible for all tuition and fees until paid in full.

Paid by credit card –  Refunds will be credited back to the card originally charged if within 60 days of the original transaction date. If greater than 60 days, refunds will be processed through BankMobile.

Paid by cash or check – Refunds will be processed through BankMobile.

Payment plan – Any refund due will be processed through BankMobile.

Financial Aid recipient – Refunds are disbursed throughout the semester after attendance is verified.  Refunds will be processed through BankMobile. We recommend consulting Financial Aid regarding any rules and regulations that may impact your award prior to dropping any classes.  This is important as it may affect your financial aid package and cause you to owe money back to the college.

Continuing Education Refunds

Tuition & Course Fees: It is the policy of the college to refund 100% of Continuing Education & Workforce Development (CEWD) tuition and fees if the course is canceled by the college. Students may transfer from one class to another, or withdraw from a class and receive a refund by completing the Drop/Transfer Form.

Registration Fee:  A $8 one-time-per-year, non-refundable registration fee is due at the time of registration. This fee is only refundable when FCC cancels a class for which the student paid the registration fee and the student has not enrolled in any other classes during the period. 

Refunds: If a student is eligible for a refund and paid by credit or debit card, the refund will be credited back to the card if within 60 days of the original transaction date. If greater than 60 days, or if paid by cash, check or money order, a refund will be mailed to the student. Processing of refunds takes approximately 10-14 business days from the class drop date.  See BankMobile for more information.
