Payments and Refunds

I. Payments

The College operates on a semester plan and students are expected to pay all expenses when registering at the beginning of each semester. If, for any reason, the tuition is not paid in full before the semester begins, students must make arrangements with the Business Office before they may enter class, including students receiving financial aid. If a student is not current with payment obligations, he/she will not be allowed to attend classes. Each student is legally responsible for any unpaid balance of tuition, even if he/she fails to complete the semester. Delinquent accounts will be turned over to a collection agency the last week of the semester and grade reports, transcripts, and diplomas will not be issued. The student will be responsible for all legal and collection expenses.

The Business and Financial Aid Offices are located in the Administration Building.

II. Refund procedures for fees are outlined below

Refund policy prior to matriculation:

1. Refunds are 100% for courses canceled by the institution.

2. Changes in courses involving the adding and dropping of equal numbers of credit hours for the same term at the same time require no refund or assessment of additional maintenance fees. The drop/add fee applies.

3. A 100% refund (minus the $50.00 application fee) will be provided if an applicant cancels his/her enrollment in writing prior to the beginning of the semester classes.

4. A 100% refund (minus the $50.00 application fee) will be provided to applicants not accepted for admission.

5. A 100% refund (minus the $50.00 application fee) will be provided to applicants who withdraw within three business days after signing the enrollment agreement and making an initial payment. After the 3-day cancellation right, but prior to the start of classes, applicants are entitled to all monies paid, less the $50.00 application fee and $100.00 registration fee.

6. Students who have not visited the campus prior to enrollment will have the opportunity to withdraw without penalty within three days following either attendance at a regularly scheduled orientation or following a tour and inspection of the college facilities.

Refunds are not given for lowered credit hours (dropped courses) after the first week (seven days after the first day of class) of the semester.

The termination date for refund computation purposes is the date written notification is given by the student. The college requires that a student wishing to withdraw from O'More College completes a "Withdrawal From College" form, available in the Registrar's Office, upon his/her decision to leave the college. Failure to complete this process will result in a final grade of "F" in each course for which the student was registered, rather than a "W" showing the official withdrawal.

Refunds to students eligible to receive benefits under the G.I. Bill will be computed in accordance with applicable Veterans Administration refund provisions. In case of prolonged illness or accident, death in the family, or other circumstances that make it impractical to complete the program, the college shall make a settlement that is reasonable and fair to both parties.

Refund policy after matriculation:

1. Changes in courses involving the adding and dropping of equal numbers of student credit hours for the same semester at the same time require no refund or assessment of additional fees; however, the drop/add transaction fee still applies.

2. The basic refund for withdrawals or drops during the fall and spring semesters is 75% from the first day of classes through the 14th calendar day of classes and then is reduced to 25% for a period of time which extends 25% of the length of the semester. There is no refund after the 25% period ends.

3. For summer semesters, the 75% refund period and the 25% refund period will extend a length of time which is the same proportion of the term as the 75% and 25% periods are of the fall and spring semesters.

4. All refund periods will be rounded to whole days and the date on which each refund period ends will be included in the academic calendar.

5. Specific dates for each semester will be given with the semester class schedule.

6. Students withdrawing from the college who complete an Exit Interview Form and schedule an Exit Interview through the Registrar's Office will receive a $100 refund.

*All monies due the student shall be refunded within 60 days from the cancellation or failure to appear on or before the first day of class or the last date of student attendance.
