REFUND POLICY Students who drop a class within the first 10% of class meetings are eligible for a 100% refund of enrollment fees and nonresident tuition. Refunds are processed automatically, and students may expect to receive a refund check in two to four weeks. Cancelled classes are automatically refunded. For refund drop deadlines for all classes, students should refer to their Schedule and Account Information page by logging into My Barstow Portal. It is the student’s responsibility to check these dates immediately after registration, as deadlines can be as early as the first or second day of class. For students who are active or reserve U.S. military personnel and receive PCS or TDY orders, Barstow Community College shall, upon receipt of student orders and petition from the student, refund enrollment fees unless a grade has already been granted.
PAYMENT PROCEDURES Students who are eligible and submit all necessary documentation by the established deadlines will be allowed to use their federal financial aid at the Viking Bookstore to purchase books beginning the week before classes begin through the Thursday of the second week of the semester. Any financial aid funds remaining after the use of the bookstore authorization are mailed to the student via check. DISBURSEMENT SCHEDULE BCC has a full term disbursement schedule as well as disbursement schedules for students enrolled in modules. The basis of enrollment is a full time 18 week semester and two 9 week modules within the 18 week semester.
Overpayments are calculated at each disbursement point until enrollment is frozen. Once enrollment is frozen, Return of Title IV is calculated. Students are given a 15 day time period to make payment to BCC. Failure to pay by the deadline results in the institution reporting the students to the Department of Education for collections. RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS Students who receive federal financial assistance but withdraw from all classes after enrollment is frozen for the semester will be required to return any unearned federal funds. When a student withdraws from an institution during a payment period or period of enrollment, the institution must determine the amount of Title IV grant that the student earned as of the student’s withdrawal date. For online classes, the last date of attendance is calculated based on the last date the student had a substantial academic interaction, such as submitting an assignment, completing a quiz, posting a discussion, etc. Viewing course content will not count as a substantial interaction. The last date of attendance is verified through the Instructional Technology Center. For classes that are not online, the date the student officially withdrew from the course through the student portion is used. The last date of attendance for classes that are not online is assumed to be 50% of the attendance period. If the student was disbursed more than the amount earned, the student will be in repayment status. If it is determined there is an institutional portion, this becomes a debt the student owes the institution. Student portions are treated in the same manner as overpayments. |
