REFUNDS / PETITIONS

 

 

REFUND OF FEES:

 

You must drop classes and request a refund with the Student Business Office prior to the refund deadline.  If you drop all classes before the semester begins (see the calendar for correct dates) you are entitled to a full refund.  A $10 processing fee is deducted once the semester begins. Drop after the refund deadline date – NO REFUND.

 

Refunds may be requested online by logging into “My Canyons” and going to Online Refund Request or in person at the Student Business Office.

 

Refund takes approximately six (6) weeks to process after the refund deadline date.

 

If the original payment for classes was paid online by credit card and it is within ninety (90) days of payment, the refund will be applied back to the original credit card used. If the original payment for classes was paid by cash, check, money order, credit card in person at the Student Business Office or credit card payment online that has been more than ninety (90) days a check will be issued. If you have had multiple payments, the last payment made will be the first source that the refund is applied. All checks will be mailed out to the current legal mailing address on file. If you have moved, please update your address. Addresses may be updated by logging into “My Canyons”.

 

 

REFUND OF OPTIONAL FEES

 

*Student Support Fee*

The student support fee must be applied for by the refund deadline date.  To opt out of the Student Support Fee you must do so in person at the Office of Student Development located in the Student Center Room S-102 or at the Student Business Office located in Seco Hall Room 101 on the Valencia Campus or in Quad 1 on the Canyon Country Campus.

*Parking Passes*

In order to be eligible for a refund on a parking pass, a request must be made and the parking pass must be returned to the Student Business Office prior to the established refund deadline date for semester length classes. Please refer to the class schedule for refund deadline dates.

 

 

CANCELED CLASSES

If a class is canceled, students are entitled to a refund of all fees associated with the class.  If this is the only class for which a student is enrolled, all fees, including term-based fees are eligible to be refunded.  However, to receive the refund, a request must be made at the Student Business office prior to the end of the semester/term in which the canceled class occurred.

 

 

REFUND POLICY

A student must drop their class and request a refund at the Student Business Office prior to the refund deadline printed on their individual schedule print out.  Parking permits must be returned at the time a request for a refund is made.  The refund deadline printed on your class schedule printout also applies to parking permits.  Refund checks are mailed approximately six weeks after the refund deadline.

 

 

LATE REFUND POLICY

A student who misses the established deadline for a particular class may obtain a late refund if a petition to the Student Business Office is approved.  If the refund deadline is missed, the student must demonstrate extenuating circumstances and provide appropriate documentation as part of the petition process.  The extenuating circumstances must have occurred prior to the refund deadline for the class and term in question and prevented the student from dropping the class on time in order for the student to be eligible for the refund.  The Petition for Late Refund form and all supporting documentation for late refunds must be submitted no later than the end of the term in which the class in question is offered.

 

Note:  All credit balances/refunds must be applied for by the refund deadline.  All credit balances/refunds not applied for by the refund deadline will be lost.  Credit balances/refunds cannot be transferred to the next semester/term.
