Tuition, Fees, and Expenses

Curriculum Refund Policy

Refunds shall be in accordance with the North Carolina Administrative Code and will be made only under the following circumstances:

1. A 100 percent tuition refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws prior to the first day of class of the academic semester as noted in the Academic Calendar. Also, a student is eligible for a 100 percent refund if the class in which the student is officially registered fails to "make" due to insufficient enrollment.
2. A 75 percent tuition refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws from the class prior to or on the official 10 percent point of the semester.
3. For classes beginning at times other than the first week (seven calendar days) of the semester, a 100 percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws from the class prior to the first class meeting. A 75 percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws from the class prior to or on the official 10 percent point of the semester.
4. Technology and activity fees are non-refundable.
5. Where a student, having paid the required tuition for a semester, dies during the semester (prior to or on the last day of examinations of the college the student was attending), all tuition and fees for that semester may be refunded to the estate of the deceased.

To comply with applicable federal regulations regarding refunds, federal regulations shall supersede the state refund regulation stated in this rule.
