Tuition Refunds and Credits
Students wishing to go on leave of absence or withdraw from the college during the add/drop period will receive a tuition refund less any nonrefundable or other applicable charges.
Students wishing to go on leave of absence or withdraw from the college after the add/drop period may petition the Policy Review Committee for a partial tuition credit. Such requests may be granted at the committee's discretion based on documentation provided by the student.
Any credits granted will be calculated according to the following scale:
| Week 3–7 of the semester | 50% credit |
| Week 8–10 of the semester | 30% credit |
| After week 10 | No credit |
If a student is granted a credit, it will be applied toward any remaining balance on the student's account with the following adjustments:
- Any CCA scholarship or state grant assistance that was received for the semester will be reduced by the same percentage used to calculate the tuition credit.
- If the student received any federal aid (Federal Stafford or PLUS Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, Pell Grant, or SEOG), they may be subject to the Title IV Return of Funds Policy.
Any remaining credit will not be refunded to the student but will instead be held on the student's account for one academic year. Credits not used within one academic year will normally be forfeited.
The deposit/registration fee is nonrefundable.
Title IV Return of Funds Policy
Dispersed Federal Funds Owed by Students to Lenders: The college is required, per the Title IV Return of Funds Policy, to return any unused portion of federal financial aid for students who withdraw from the college before 60 percent of the semester is completed.
Students are required to repay these funds to the college and will be billed accordingly.
Students should consult with CCA financial aid counselors on these matters.
