Refund Policy & Dropping a Class

Special Note Regarding College Cancellations
If a course is canceled by the College, 100% of applicable tuition and fees will be refunded to students or students may choose to have the refund transferred to an alternate class.

Drop/Refund Request within Refund Period
Students who chose to drop a CEWD class will receive a full refund provided that they initiate the drop at least two (2) work days prior to the class start date. Other classes with a different full refund period will be noted in the shopping cart upon check-out. The class refund policy is also provided in the registration confirmation email. 
Students have two methods to drop a class:
  • Self-Drop - follow the directions listed below under the How to Drop a Class section. Self-drops are available up to seven (7) days prior to the class start date.
  • Email CEInfo@frederick.edu any time prior to the refund deadline. The drop/refund request must be initiated from the email address associated with the student’s account. 
How to Drop a Class - A Self Service Feature
Managing changes to your class schedule online

  • Sign into your account
  • Scroll down and click "Go to My Dashboard"
  • Click Menu (the green drop down option) on the left side of the screen.
  • Click Cancel and classes eligible for self-drop will be displayed. 
  • From that list, click the class you wish to drop, or remove, and follow the prompts to complete the transaction.
Refund Request Outside of Full Refund Period 
Students seeking a drop/refund for a class outside the refund period can initiate the request for extenuating circumstances by clicking this link: Drop/Request Form  Students will be asked to provide documentation supporting the student’s request. Appropriate documentation may include electronic or hard-copy documents from medical providers, employers, child care providers, or others that can validate extenuating circumstances. The College reserves the right to approve a full, partial, or deny a refund request submitted outside the full period for the class.

Approved Refunds
Where possible, refunds will be generated back to the original form of payment. Cash and money order payments will be refunded by check and mailed to the address on file. Please allow 10-14 business days to receive refunds.
