Refund policies are state mandated and strictly enforced.

A student who withdraws from the college may become eligible for a refund based on the date the withdrawal (add/drop) form is completed and returned to the Admissions Office as specified in the withdrawal procedure in the Admissions section of the school catalog.

The college charges mandatory and non-mandatory fees. Mandatory fees include Tuition, Student Service, Building Use, Equipment Usage, I.D. Card, and Student Union fees. With the exception of the I.D. card, these fees are refundable depending on whether a student drops a class or withdraws from the college as indicated below. Non-mandatory fees include parking, insurance, housing and meal plan fees. The housing and meal card refunds are prorated based on the date of withdrawal. In order to receive a meal card refund, the meal card must be returned. Parking and insurance fees are nonrefundable. Students receiving a refund from housing and meal plan fees should notify the student receivable office as soon as possible.

Students who drop or withdraw from the college shall have their tuition and fees (except non-refundable fees) refunded according to the following schedules (not to include weekends or holidays):

15 Week Session
Prior to the first class day of TSTC	100%
1st-14th class day	70%

The refund is based on the full amount of tuition and fees, not on the amount paid by the student.

A refund of non-refundable fees can be approved in cases where the student is not accepted by the college or when classes are cancelled. No other provisions are provided for refunding these fees.

The college reserves the right to withhold refunds in cases where the student is suspended for disciplinary reasons.

Refunds of payments made with checks will be processed until sufficient time has elapsed for checks to clear the bank.

Refunds are mailed within 20 days from receipt of the official withdrawal notice. Cash refunds are not permitted.

Note: Financial aid students may have to repay funds to Title IV Financial Aid programs. Student must contact the Financial Aid Office prior to withdrawing from all courses.
