Refund Policy

Refund Policy

  1. The guidelines listed below are followed when a request for a refund is received.
    1. The first class day refers to the day on which the semester is designated to begin according to the Ranger College catalog.
    2. Class days are the number of calendar days the institution normally meets for classes, not the days a particular course meets.
    3. Students who register late will have the time already lapsed in the semester counted against them.
    4. A withdrawal or drop is not considered to be official until the proper notification is received in the Office of the Registrar.
  2. Students who officially drop a course or courses or officially withdraw from Ranger College (or who are officially dismissed from Ranger College) and are enrolled in semester-length courses shall receive refunds of mandatory tuition and fees in excess of the minimum tuition as follows:

  1. Students who officially drop a course or courses or officially withdraw from Ranger College (or who are officially dismissed from Ranger College) and are enrolled in flex entry and/or non-semester-length courses with a census date other than the 11th class day (4th class day for a six-week summer semester) shall receive refunds of mandatory tuition and fees in excess of the minimum tuition as follows:
  2. Tuition and fees paid directly to the institution by a sponsor, donor, grant or scholarship shall be refunded to the source rather than directly to the student who has withdrawn if the funds were made available through the institution. Certain fees are not refundable.
  3. Immediate refunds are not issued at time of withdrawal but will be mailed to the address left by the student with the Business Office. Refunds will not be made until after the last day for refunds. All claims for loss or damage, loans, returned checks or other debts will be considered before refunds are processed.
  4. If a student withdraws because the student is called into active military service, the institution, at the student’s option, shall:
    • refund the tuition and fees paid by the student for the semester in which the student withdraws;
    • grant a student, who is eligible under the institution’s guidelines, an incomplete grade in all courses by designating “withdrawn-military’’ on the student’s transcript; or
    • as determined by the instructor, assign an appropriate final grade or credit to a student who has satisfactorily completed a substantial amount of course work and who has demonstrated sufficient mastery of the course material.
  5. Examples of refund calculations are available upon request.
