Noncredit Policies and Procedure
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 non-credit courses is:
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 and
students will be charged for the course.
If paying by credit card 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.
