Noncredit Policies and Procedures 23 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). 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.
