A "Petition

no later than the end of the term in which the class is offered.
REFUND OF FEES:
You must drop
classes and request a refund at 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 classes begin. Drop after the refund deadline
date – NO REFUND.
Refunds may be
requested in person at the Student Business Office or online by logging into “My
Canyons” and going to Online Refund Request.
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

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.
