Refund Policies at SUNY Orange

Orange County Community College has refund policies applicable to course offerings. They include:

When a student completely withdraws or stops attending classes during the first 60% of a semester, the college is required to administer the:

Title IV Federal Return of Funds Policy

(Financial Aid Refund check information can be found on the Financial Aid Refunds page)

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.

A "Request for Tuition Credit" is available to students who feel they warrant an exception to the College's Refund Policies.
