Refunds of Tuition

Withdrawal requests should be made in the Office of the Registrar (Shuster Hall, Room 114). The date on which this form is completed and filed, not the student's LAST day in class, is the official date of withdrawal that serves as the basis for computing a refund. Withdrawals don’t constitute refunds; you may qualify for a refund contingent upon the drop date.

Non-attendance in classes does not waive the tuition liability a student incurs at registration. Any student who is unable to file for withdrawal from a course in person can through Student Center found on CUNYFIRST.

Students dropping courses will be refunded according to the dates within this schedule. Students may receive a 100% tuition refund for voluntarily dropping from a class up to, and not including, the first day of classes. The first day of classes is not the first day of THE STUDENT'S class but, rather, the College's opening day of classes for the semester or session.

As a result of the Higher Education Reauthorization Act, students who are recipients of Federal financial aid are subject to one of the following Federal Refund Policies (subject to change)

Withdrawals and the Return of Federal Financial Aid

Federal student aid is awarded with the expectation that you will attend school for the entire period for which your financial aid was awarded. To establish eligibility for any federal financial aid payments, you must complete the college's registration and bill payment process and begin attending your classes. It is strongly advised that you consult with the Financial Aid Office if you drop or withdraw from a class(es). [Note: if you receive a financial aid payment for a class or classes you have never attended, you must return that payment immediately to the college.]

Once you start attending classes, the federal government requires that you "earn" your financial aid awards in direct proportion to the number of days in the semester that you do attend. If you completely withdraw from school before completing the term, the school must calculate according to a federally approved formula the portion of financial aid you have earned and are therefore entitled to receive up to the time you withdrew.
