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
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).
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.
