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 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). Email: Middlesex@middlesex.mass.edu
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.
