Noncredit Policies and Procedures
Refunds
When a student drops or withdraws from a course, processing,
instructional and other costs must still be met by the college. Therefore,
refunds and the official withdrawal policy for Corporate and Community
Education & Training noncredit courses is as follows.
To be eligible for a refund, students MUST notify the Student Information
Center in writing, in person, or by calling 1-800-818-3434 to request their
refund (according to the schedule below).
If you wish to withdraw from a course you may also transfer to an
alternative course or you may receive a 100% credit valid for 6 months.
Refunds for course drops made by mail are computed according to the
date of postmark. Instructors are not responsible for reporting decisions to
withdraw. Lack of attendance, course abandonment or failure to make or
complete payment does not constitute official course withdrawal.
If you used a credit card to pay for the course, the refund will be credited
to the credit card account. In cases where a course has been cancelled
by MCC, a 100% refund is made. Corporate and Community Education
and Training reserves the right to cancel noncredit courses, workshops,
programs, and other events for which there is insufficient enrollment
and/or reschedule programs, to change instructors, to change course
locations and to take other administrative actions as necessary. Corporate
& Community Education reserves the right to change the content of any
course information contained in our brochure or website due to error
or unforeseen circumstances. Refunds are not automatically warranted
based on these changes. This refund policy applies to noncredit courses
only. For information regarding the refund policy for credit courses, please
call 1-800-818-3434. Middlesex Community College reserves the right to
make changes in policy and regulations at any time as circumstances
dictate.
