Refund Policy
It is the student's responsibility to apply for a refund. A student is eligible for a refund after classes have been officially dropped. Classes must be dropped by the appropriate deadline for the session in order to be eligible for a refund. A student is eligible for a refund if: a) classes are dropped by the required deadline; b) the program change is the result of action taken by the district to cancel or reschedule a class; c) the student is dropped for failure to meet a prerequisite(s) or co-requisite(s); and/or, d) the student is active or reserve U.S. military personnel who withdraws due to military orders.
The above listed eligible students may file a petition with the district requesting refund of their registration fee(s). A refund will not be processed if academic credit has been awarded for the class. Refunds are not automatically processed. Students must come to the Admissions, Records & Services Office in the Administration Building beginning on the refund start date and sign a claim statement. Refunds will then be mailed in approximately four to six weeks. Be sure your address is correct on the claim statement when filing.
Fees
One Year Limit On Refunds - Students seeking refunds must meet requirements of #1 and #2 above to be eligible. Students then have one year from the beginning of the semester in which fees were paid to apply for their refund. Beyond the one year limit, students will no longer be eligible for a refund.
*Classes dropped in the Admissions, Records & Services office Must Be Dropped By 7:00 P.M. Monday-Thursday, 4:00 P.M. Friday.
*Classes dropped on MyCerritos or over the Falcon Phone Must Be Dropped by 11:59 PM.
Refunds are made pursuant to the State of California Education Code, Section 58501 or 58501.1, for program changes made during the first two weeks of instruction for a primary term-length course (18 weeks) or by the ten percent point of the length of a short-term course (15 weeks, 9 weeks, 6 weeks, etc.) Example: 9 weeks class x 5 working days = 45 x 10% = 4.5 The result is rounded to allow 5 days to drop a class and be eligible for a refund.
