Withdrawals and Refunds

Students may withdraw from a class by logging into the MyCACC portal. Official withdrawal forms for complete withdrawals may be obtained on the website at https://www.cacc.edu/about/forms. Students needing assistance can contact the Office of Student Services by e-mailing student-services@cacc.edu. The refund of tuition and fees is computed according to the date on the withdrawal request. Student accident insurance and malpractice insurance are non-refundable after the first day of the semester.

Processing of refunds for eligible students begin three weeks after the first day of the semester. When an account is overpaid, refunds for credit card payments will be issued exclusively to the original card used for the transaction. Any amount exceeding the card payment will be refunded to the direct deposit account listed in the student’s profile. If direct deposit has not been set up, a paper check will be mailed to the student’s mailing address on file.

Students who are active military service members called to active duty by executive order of the President of the United States or a State Governor in the time of national crisis may receive a full refund of tuition and other appropriate institutional charges at the time of withdrawal. If a military service member is receiving Title IV funding, a re-calculation must be performed as required by Federal Title IV regulations, which could result in less than a 100% refund.

Partial Withdrawal 

Students who do not completely withdraw from the College but drop a class during the drop/add period will be refunded the difference in the tuition paid and the tuition rate applicable to the reduced number of hours, including fees appropriate to the classes dropped with the exception of student accident insurance or malpractice insurance. There is no refund due to a student who partially withdraws after the official drop/add period.

A student who officially withdraws from the College before completing the semester may claim a refund according to the following schedule:

Any student involved in an incident such as, but not limited to, unsatisfactory clinical performance will receive the grade of “F” in the course, which will not be posted until the end of the semester to the student’s transcript. The student will not be allowed to withdraw regardless of the College published withdrawal date. This policy supersedes the College withdrawal policy. A student assigned a failing grade by an instructor in the aforementioned circumstance may appeal the grade using the published grade appeal process outlined in the College Catalog & Student Handbook.

Withdrawal from Community and Continuing Education Courses

Refunds for community and continuing education courses must be requested before the first class meeting. Refund request forms are available in the Office of Workforce Development and must be completed prior to the first day of class.
