(As of May 2001)

Once a student has been accused of wrongdoing in a complaint that has been accepted for a hearing by the Judicial Board, the Disciplinary Board, the Appeals Board, the Sexual Harassment Peer Counseling and Grievance Committee, or any officer of the college, that student shall not receive a Bachelor of Science degree* until the complaint has been resolved to the satisfaction** of the appropriate board, committee or officer.

*  A student shall be deemed to have received a degree only after the Chair of the Board of Trustees has conferred the degrees in the annual graduation ceremony; thus, for purposes of this regulation, Board of Trustee approval does not, by itself, constitute the granting of the degree.
** ”Resolved to the satisfaction…” shall include satisfying all penalties assessed.

Tuition Refunds
Refunds for changes in courseload to less than Full Time: a student who wishes to change courseload to nine units or less must give notice by submitting a Change in Registration Form and a Scholarly Standing Committee Petition for an underload to the Registrar. Students whose petitions are approved within the first 30 days of the semester are refunded according to the number of units enrolled. No refunds are made after the first 30 days of the semester.

If a student withdraws from the college, refunds on fees, charges and tuition will be made after the withdrawal, according to the following schedule:

• 100 percent refund of fees, charges and tuition is made if withdrawal occurs before the first day of classes.
• 75 percent refund of the tuition charge is made if withdrawal occurs before the eighteenth day of classes.
• 50 percent refund of the tuition charge is made if withdrawal occurs after the first seventeen days of classes but on or before the thirtieth day of class.
• No refund of the tuition charge is made after the thirtieth day of class. Refund of the board charge is on a pro rata basis.
• There is no refund of the room charges or fees.

Refunds are made by the college within 30 days of receipt of the withdrawal/leave of absence form by the Dean of Students or Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Questions regarding the college’s refund policy or procedure should be directed to the Office of Student Accounts.
