Withdrawals & Refunds
Partial Withdrawal during the Schedule Change Period
A student who officially drops a course during the Schedule Change Period will be refunded the difference in tuition paid and the tuition rate applicable to the reduced number of hours, plus all refundable fees. After the Schedule Change Period, no refunds are issued for partial withdrawal.
Withdrawal from the College
A student who officially withdraws before the first day of class from ALL courses will be refunded the total tuition, plus refundable fees. A student who officially withdraws from the College (all courses) during the first seven calendar days of class (inclusive of Saturday and Sunday) will receive 75 percent of refundable tuition, plus refundable fees.* Students who officially withdraw from the College after the first seven calendar days after the beginning of the term and on or before the fourteenth calendar day after the beginning of the term will receive 50 percent of refundable tuition, plus all refundable fees. Students who officially withdraw from the College after the fourteenth calendar day after the beginning of the term and on or before the twenty-first calendar day after the beginning of the term will receive 25 percent of refundable tuition, plus all refundable fees.*
For calculating refunds during the fall and spring sixteen-week terms, a “week” is defined as seven calendar days. Refunds of tuition for terms shorter than sixteen weeks, such as summer terms, mini-terms, split terms, and weekend terms, will reflect a prorated week based on the number of days in the term.
*A portion of the tuition is earmarked by the Community College System Board of Trustees for retirement of debt and cannot be refunded. This non-refundable tuition is $37 for students taking 9 or more hours, $30 for students taking 6-8 hours, and $22 for students taking fewer than 6 hours.
NOTE: Refunds for Truck Driver Training tuition and housing payments are calculated at the same rate as noted above.
NOTE: Refund policy for financial assistance recipients is outlined in the Financial Assistance section of this catalog.
NOTE: A student who adds classes will be charged additional tuition and fees at the applicable rate.
NOTE: Paper checks will need to be picked up in the Jasper campus business office only.
Bevill State encourages Direct Deposit (eRefunds) for all students to receive their refunds. eRefunds eliminate the chance of a check getting lost, misdirected, delayed during delivery, or misplaced once it is received. Refunds will be available much quicker as they are not mailed and deposit directly into the student’s bank account eliminating the need to physically visit a bank to make a deposit. There are no fees from Bevill State for using eRefunds. Students who do not select to participate in eRefunds will be required to pick up refund checks in the business office on the Jasper Campus.
