A 75% refund shall be made if the student officially drops from the class(es) prior to or on the official 10% point of the semester. Student fees are NOT refundable.

Federal regulations, if different from above, will overrule this policy.

To be eligible for a tuition refund, the student must:

  1. Officially register and pay tuition and fees.
  2. Process and submit a Drop/Add Registration Change Notice form to the Registrar's Office no later than the 10% point of the term as defined above.

For additional information regarding refunds, contact the Business Office staff at 252-862-1214 or Student Services staff at 252-862-1200.

Bookstore Refund Policy

The College Bookstore is managed and operated by Follett. Therefore, the College does not set the policies or rules. Please contact customer service at 800-381-5151 with questions about refunds.

Title IV Federal Refund Policy

Title IV Federal Programs include, but are not limited to, Pell Grant and Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG). Title IV Federal Financial Aid students who withdraw or stop attending the College will have their financial aid recalculated according to the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, 34 CFR part 668.22. Some grant recipients may owe a repayment to both the College and the Federal government as a result of this recalculation. Students will be notified if repayment is due.

Withdrawal from Course(s)

Students who receive financial aid from any of the Title IV Federal Programs (as listed above) may be responsible for repaying a portion of their aid if they withdraw, drop, or stop attending classes during the refund period. Withdrawal from classes may also affect eligibility for financial aid for the following semester or academic year. Students will be notified if monies are due the College.

Past Due Accounts/Outstanding Debts

Any student who fails to resolve any outstanding debt to the College will not be permitted to register for classes, receive academic or financial aid transcripts, receive a diploma or certificate, and/or participate in graduation. In addition, past due accounts 90 days or older will be turned over to the NC Department of Revenue’s Debt Setoff program.

Payment Plans/Options:

The College provides students with the following payment options to cover tuition, fees, books, and supplies to those who qualify.

Financial Aid and Scholarships – refer to the Financial Aid section of this website or contact the Financial Aid Office for information.

Sponsored students must complete a Third-Party Billing Agreement each semester with the Business Office to ensure that charges are properly deducted from their sponsorships.

Agreement each semester, at the Business Office, in order to ensure that charges are properly deducted from their sponsorship. All questions or concerns can be directed to the Business Office located in the Jernigan Building, Room 102 (252-862-1229).

Student Payment Plan – For $25 per semester, students may set up an interest-free monthly payment plan to cover the cost of their tuition and fees. This plan is sponsored by Nelnet Business Solutions (e-Cashier). Books may not be included in this payment plan and must be purchased by other means. Payment drafts that are not allowed due to insufficient funds or account numbers that do not exist will be charged a nonrefundable fee of $25 for each occurrence by Nelnet.

Learn more by contacting the Business Office Cashier at 252-862-1214. Availability of e-Cashier is determined by Roanoke-Chowan Community College. Please be aware that the College may elect not to have e-Cashier available during specific times and dates during registration. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm with the Business Office that his/her account has been set up properly and will cover all tuition and fees for the semester to ensure that his/her schedule does not get purged from the system. It is also the student’s responsibility to notify the Business Office of any changes made to his/her schedule to ensure the payment plan is adjusted accordingly.

 

**NOTE: Financial aid is not considered earned until the Financial Aid office verifies attendance and requests for awards to be applied to student accounts. Students with financial aid should understand that aid will not be applied to their account until the disbursement date published on the College calendar and therefore any payments they have contracted with Nelnet (e-Cashier) to draft from their account will continue and be posted on schedule. Once financial aid is actually applied to their account, then the balance that Nelnet reflects will be adjusted.

Please do not assume your balance will automatically be adjusted if you add or drop a class or if you receive financial aid. You should review your agreement balance online through MY FACTS Account or call the Roanoke-Chowan Community College Business Office at 252-862-1214 to confirm the change. Once e-Cashier has been turned off for a semester, a student cannot make changes; however, in some cases the Business Office can adjust the account if given permission in writing by the student.
