Credit & Refund Policies

A student may either choose to maintain a credit balance on account or contact the Cashier's Office Office to arrange for a refund. Refunds are NOT issued automatically. Credit balances remain on student accounts for a maximum of five (5) years.

Fees paid by personal check will require 30 days for bank clearance before refunds can be processed.
Contact the Cashier’s Office regarding credit and refund questions, Building 9, 1st Floor or call (650) 306-3270.

 

On or After the First Day of Instruction:

• Enrollment Fee/ Non-resident Tuition
  Students will receive full enrollment fee and non-resident fee credit toward future registration fees if they reduce their program or officially withdraw from all courses within the first 10% of class meetings. (For example: if a course has 12 meetings, 10% of 12 = 1.2; the College will round up to 2.0; therefore, the student must withdraw no later than the end of the day of the second class meeting.) Students who officially withdraw from all courses and request a refund will be subject to a $10 processing fee. An additional $50 processing fee will be retained by the college for non-resident and F-1 Visa international students who request a refund.
• Variable Unit Courses
  No Enrollment Fee or Nonresident Tuition refund or credit will be available to students enrolled in variable unit courses who earn fewer units of credit than the number for which they originally registered. Students earning additional units will be charged accordingly.
• Health Services Fee
  Students will receive a full refund through the second week of instruction for semester-length classes and through the first 10% of the class meetings for students enrolled in less than semester-length classes. Thereafter, these fees are not refundable or transferable unless an action of the College (e.g., class cancellation) prevents the student from attending.
• Parking Fee
  Parking permits are non-refundable unless an action of the College (i.e. cancellation of all of the student’s classes) prevents the student from attending. If a parking permit has been issued, it must be returned to the Cashier's Office before a credit or a refund of the Parking Fee will be processed. Lost and stolen parking permits are nonrefundable.
• Student Body Fee
  This fee is refundable at the beginning of every semester. To request a credit or refund of this fee, contact the Center for Student Life located in Building 5 - Room 305 (across from the Grove). If you would like to download the form online visit Student ID Card in our Cañada College Website. 
• Student Representation Fee
  This fee will be waived for students who refuse to pay for religious, political, moral, or financial reasons. This waiver must be submitted in writing within the first 10% of the period of instruction of the course(s).
