The Business Offices answers student&#8217;s questions concerning refunds.&nbsp; When a student drops a class, a class is deleted, or a student completely withdraws, the College computer system adjust the student account and processes a check for the refund amount due.&nbsp; Checks are processed each week.&nbsp; A refund may be issued if a student has a credit balance on their account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>REFUND POLICY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If a student drops one of their classes before the official first day of classes or during the add\/drop period and they are still registered for other classes in the semester, a full refund is due for the class dropped.&nbsp; If a student drops one of their classes after the add\/drop period, no refund is due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If a student officially withdraws from all of their classes before the first official day of classes or during the below given weeks, the following refund of tuition will be made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Withdrawal prior to the first official day of classes<br>Withdrawal during the first week of classes<br>Withdrawal during the second week of classes<br>Withdrawal during the third week of classes<br>Withdrawal after the end of the third week of classes<\/td><td>100% refund<br>75% of net tuition*<br>50% of net tuition*<br>25% of net tuition*<br>no refund<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Net tuition is tuition minus a 5% administrative fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This refund policy applies to a 16-week semester.&nbsp; Refunds of tuition for terms of less than 16 weeks, such as the Summer Semester,<br>mini-mesters, and the May-Mester, will reflect a prorated week based on the number of days in the term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official first day of classes is indicatedon the college calendar as the day that classes begin.<br>This day may not be the first day on which all classes begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If a student is participating in a financial aid program and officially or unofficially completely withdraws, the student must repay that program a portion of any refund received from GSCC.&nbsp; The&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:kdeath@gadsdenstate.edu\">Financial Aid Administrator<\/a>&nbsp;can be contacted for more information concerning this policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who officially withdraw from the dormitory after the semester begins are entitled to a refund on the same basis as complete withdrawals.&nbsp; If a student moves from the dormitory and does not request the dorm deposit be refunded, it will automatically be refunded to the student at the end of the following semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A student may carry a negative balance on their account during the time they are registered at the college.&nbsp; If the student is not registered for a semester by the end of the add\/drop period, and they have a negative balance on their account, a refund will be processed in the amount of the negative balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Exceptions to the refund policy are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>If the College deletes one or more of a student&#8217;s classes, the student is due a refund of tuition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alabama National Guard and Reservists called to active duty in a time of national crisis shall receive a full tuition refund.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The president has the authority to make exceptions to the refund policy in the event of the death of a student or of a family member or other catastrophic event requiring the student to leave the institution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>REFUND CHECK INFORMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If a student paid their fees by check, the college must wait a three week period of time before issuing a refund check in order to insure that the check has cleared the bank.<br><br>   If a student&#8217;s fees are paid by scholarship, the scholarship will receive the refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any tuition, fees, fines, or penalties owed by the student are deducted from the student&#8217;s refund amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Refund checks are mailed to the student&#8217;s mailing address in Self Service Banner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Student refund checks expire after 90 days.&nbsp; If a student refund check expires, the College will attempt to get the funds to the student.&nbsp; If the College is unable to get the funds to the student, the College may forward the funds to State of Alabama Department of the Treasury Unclaimed Property.&nbsp;
