Withdrawals & Refunds
Administrative Withdrawal
If a student has been absent for more than 10% of didactic classwork or who twice turn in work more than 1 week past online assignment due dates or who miss more clinical time than outlined as acceptable per the course syllabus, faculty, in conjunction with the student’s academic advisor, may withdraw the student from the course administratively. Absences do not have to be consecutive.
The College reserves the right to withdraw a student from classes at any time during the semester. Generally, these withdrawals are initiated because of non-attendance, disciplinary problems, non-payment of tuition/fees, or incomplete admission /health records. If withdrawn administratively, the student will receive the grade of WP or WF based upon the work completed at the time of the withdrawal. Students withdrawing from the College are subject to the Refund Policy & Schedule.
Course/College Withdrawal
Students who are unable to make payment arrangements, or unable to secure enough financial aid to cover tuition and fees, are encouraged to drop their course(s) within the allotted refund period to avoid incurring a bill. A student remains financially responsible for all tuition and fees for any/all classes not officially dropped by the appropriate date. Withdrawal and/or non-attendance of courses may result in the loss of financial aid.
If a student completely withdraws from their program (WP or WF) during the semester after federal financial aid has been received, the student may be required to return a portion of the federal financial aid awarded to them based on the outcome of the required Department of Education R2T4 calculation. Financial Aid funding refunds will be based upon the last day of attendance per Department of Education regulations.
Additional information regarding withdrawals and the withdrawal procedure can be found in the College Catalog. Questions concerning the refund of federal student aid are referred to the Financial Aid Specialist, (309) 779-7812.

Stipend Refunds

Excess funds are processed by the Business Services Specialist and will be made payable and mailed directly to the student per the information on file with the student's college master record. It is the responsibility of the student to update any changes in name and/or address with the College to ensure proper delivery of excess funds.
