Refund Policies at SUNY Orange
Request for Tuition Credit
* Link opens in a new window
Orange County Community College has three refund policies applicable to course offerings. They include two Credit Class Refund Policies (15 week policy and 8 week policy) and a Non-Credit Refund Policy.
The college is also required to administer the Title IV Federal Return of Funds Policy, when a federal financial aid recipients withdraws or stops attending classes during the first 60% of the semester.
Please note the following when applying for a refund:
Full-time students are eligible for tuition refunds only when their semester course load drops below 12 credits. The refund will be calculated by determining the difference between the previous full-time enrollment threshold of 12 credits and the new part-time enrollment and then applying the appropriate refund percentage to the difference in dropped credits.
- Refund payments are not immediate. Allow approximately six weeks for processing and mailing during the fall/spring semesters and four weeks during the summer/winter sessions.
- Credit courses eight weeks or less in length are subject to a refund schedule appropriate to the length of the course.
- A course canceled by the college will be refunded all tuition and fees relative to the cancelled course.
- Inquiries regarding refund policy exceptions should be directed in writing to:
The Office of the Vice-President of Student Services,
