PLEASE NOTE: Withdrawing from classes may have an adverse effect on your financial aid, and may result in you being billed for your classes, and/or not being able to receive financial aid in the future.

After these dates, a student must follow the “withdrawal” procedure.

When a TITLE IV (Federal Financial Aid) recipient withdraws (officially or unofficially) on or after their first day of class during the period of enrollment for which the student was charged, the College will calculate a federal refund amount according to regulatory requirements, and will compare the results of the calculated federal refund amount to the calculated institutional refund amount. In all cases, the College will refund (repayment to TITLE IV) the larger of the results as per the Policies and Procedures Relating to Refunds and Repayments of the U.S. Department of Education.

Incidental fees and returned check fees are not refundable. If a class is cancelled by the College, and the student does not choose to enroll in another class, a total refund of tuition and fees for that particular class will be made to the student.

Upon completion of official drop procedures, refunds of all or part of Student Development Fees may be granted through the first week of the semester.

100% refunds will be issued only at published times. A $25.00 service charge will be assessed for each dropped class. No service charge will be assessed if an even exchange of added and dropped classes occurs.

Upon completion of the audit, each student is responsible for payment of additional tuition and fees, in the event of class changes and/or errors in calculations.

Refunds of tuition and fees will occur only after the Change-in-Registration form is properly completed by the student and receipted by the Registration personnel. No refunds will be authorized for withdrawals or changes made after the refund date for the term.

Refund checks will be mailed approximately three weeks after the stated deadline.

NOTE: South Suburban College cannot authorize withdrawals on the basis of information received by telephone.

Refunds for college-credit courses dropped are made as follows. Students wishing to discontinue attendance in a course after the close of the refund period must follow the "Withdrawal Procedure".

Change of Registration

Students will be allowed to change their class schedule through the first week of classes for the semester. A “Change in Registration” can be processed in person through Registration. However, after late registration, students who have not yet registered for the term may only register for a class if the course has not yet begun. During this period, courses may be dropped in person or online, however, courses can only be added in person. Courses with shorter timelines and/or 8-week courses will have special Change of Registration dates. Please consult with Registration personnel or the current Catalog calendar and/or current course schedule for these timelines. These guidelines are in effect through the end of the tuition refund period. There is a $25 service fee assessed for each dropped course. Students wishing to discontinue attendance in a course after the close of the refund period must follow the “Withdrawal” procedure in the College catalog.
