Schedule Adjustment Refunds - Students who have a reduction in hours scheduled during the fourteenth class days (first seven class days in the summer) will be issued a refund based on the per credit hour amount of tuition and fees assessed for the number of hours dropped. Students who have an increase in hours once tuition and fees are paid will be required to pay the additional per credit hour tuition and fees at the time of the schedule adjustment.
Resignation Refunds - Any student who resigns, i.e, completes a resignation form dropping ALL classes, will be awarded a refund according to the following schedule in accordance with the federal guidelines for repayment of federal funds.

Refunds Policy for Veterans Administration recipients - South Louisiana Community College has and maintains a policy for the refund of the unused portion of tuition, fees, and other charges in the event the veteran or an eligible person fails to enter the courses or withdraws or is discontinued there from at any time prior to completion. This policy provides that the amount charged to the veteran or eligible person for tuition, fees, and other charges for a portion of the course shall not exceed the appropriate pro rata portion of the total charges for tuition, fees, and other charges that the length of the completed portion of the course bears to its total length. The amount should not vary more than 10% of the exact pro rata amount. (Approved under Title 38 USC 3676, effective June 7, 2004 by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs).
Tuition Refund Appeals - A student who wishes to appeal a resignation refund (or lack thereof) must present a form and written letter of appeal to the Tuition Refund Appeals Committee. Supporting documentation should be attached. The student will be notified in writing of the decision of the Committee.
No refunds are given when a student’s transfer records indicate that s/he has been suspended or dismissed for academic, disciplinary, or financial reasons. Refunds will be applied to any existing indebtedness to the College prior to disbursement to a student.
