tuition Refund Policy
A student who drops from a class on or before the fifth business day after the start
of classes is entitled to a 100% refund of the tuition and fees. In the event a course
is cancelled, all tuition and fees are refunded.
A student who drops from a class after the close of the fifth business day shall receive
no refund. Refunds will not be issued to students based on non-attendance, absenteeism,
or disciplinary reasons.
Tuition Refund Appeal
Students who withdraw from class after the official drop period due to mitigating
circumstances may submit an appeal requesting a refund equivalent to the amount of
tuition and fees paid in connection with the class(es) by completing the Tuition Refund
Appeal. If the student is receiving financial assistance (sponsored billing, financial
aid, veteran/military benefits), a tuition refund may not be issued due to program
requirements.
Requests for a refund must be submitted using the Tuition Refund Appeal no later than
the last day of the semester of the class involved. An appointed committee will review
appeals within ten business days. After a decision has been reached, the student will
be notified using the email provided on their Tuition Refund Appeal.
If a student’s Tuition Refund Appeal is granted and the student is a federal financial
aid recipient, their financial aid may be reduced or removed and could result in a
Return to Title IV (R2T4). This includes any financial aid overages that have been
received and/or bookstore charges.
Submitting a Tuition Refund Appeal does not relieve a student from their current obligation
to Gogebic Community College. A student is responsible for all charges accessed on
their student account pending a decision. Any outstanding charges on the students
account after the Tuition Refund Appeal has been processed is the student’s responsibility.
