The Board of Trustees of the Maine Community College System has established the following schedule as policy (No. 402) for refunding tuition and room and board payments to full and part-time matriculated students who withdraw from the College in accordance with the schedule and provision set forth below. Tuition and Room Deposits are refundable for a period up to 120 days prior to the start of a semester. Note: For purposes of calculating refunds, the attendance period begins on the first day of the academic semester and ends on the date the student notifies the Registrar's Office in writing of her/his withdrawal. Resident students who must move out of the residence halls to participate in a field experience internship to meet a curriculum requirement may be eligible for a refund of the unused portion of room and board expenses. Non-matriculated students who officially withdraw (drop) from a course within the first ten class days of the semester (first five days during the summer session) will be entitled to a full refund of tuition and lab fees. Official Drop forms may be obtained from the Registrar's Office. Properly completed and dated "Drop" forms must be in the Registrar's Office prior to the end of the "refund period" above for the applicable course(s). The Registrar's Office will notify the Business Office of all approved course withdrawals. Refunds usually require two to four weeks for processing. Note: Refund levels may vary for special or short-term courses depending upon the circumstances. No refunds are given for terminations resulting from academic, disciplinary or financial dismissal. Students who believe that individual circumstances warrant exceptions from the published policy may appeal to the College President or his/her designee. Central Maine Community College reserves the right to withhold grades, transcripts, Certificates, Diplomas or Degrees from students who have not met all financial obligations to the College.
