• Students who attend classes under a contract will be refunded in accordance with the terms of the contract.
• Class day count begins with the first calendar day of the term (not necessarily the first day of an individual class); and includes all weekdays, Monday through Friday, which are not designated official Central Texas College holidays.
• Any refund applicable for dropped courses will first be applied to any outstanding balance remaining on the student’s account before any check will be issued.
• Central Texas College will allow hours to be dropped and re-added without penalty to the student if the following conditions are met:

  - The transaction must be completed prior to the census date of the dropped hours.

  - The start date of the added hours must be prior to the census date of the dropped hours.

  - The exchange must be an equal one.

  - The exchange must occur simultaneously as a single transaction.

  When the charges for hours are dropped without concurrently added hours, they will be refunded in accordance with the refund policy outlined previously. Charges for hours added at a later time will be applied based on the current approved tuition and fee schedule and will not offset charges from prior drops.

• Tuition and fees paid directly to the Institution by Veterans Affairs, Title IV (Financial Aid Programs), a sponsor, donor, or scholarship shall be refunded to the source rather than directly to the student.
• Emergency withdrawal will be considered to be filed as of the date of the emergency. Students must submit written proof of emergency such as military emergency leave orders or medical certification of family emergency. Refunds under emergency conditions will follow the tuition refund schedule listed above.
• Special consideration is available when the student withdraws from all classes under the following conditions:

  - Any student suffering a catastrophic illness or accident or death in the immediate family after classes have started.

  - Active duty military students who receive PCS or deployment orders and dependent family members of active duty military who receive PCS after the start of classes which require the service member to depart before the class is completed.

  A student must present a copy of deployment orders, medical certification, death certificate, or published obituary along with the refund request to be eligible for special consideration. Withdrawals due to pre-existing conditions do not qualify for an exception to the refund policy. Refunds under these conditions will follow the tuition refund schedule listed below.

  - If withdrawing before the 20th class day for semester-length courses (before the last day for 25 percent refund for non-semester-length courses), 100 percent refund.

  - If withdrawing between the 21st day for semester-length courses (or the day after the 25 percent refund period for non-semester-length courses) and the midpoint of the course, 50 percent refund.

  - After the midpoint of the course, no additional refund will be given. The standard refund policy will apply.

  - Please note that NTC rotations, TDY and field exercises are NOT considered deployments under this policy.

  - Exceptions to the refund policy under the above special considerations must be requested within 4 (four) months of the course/semester/term end date.
