Tuition and Fees
Tuition Refund Appeals Process
Students dropping or withdrawing from class(es) are charged tuition and fees in accordance with SUNY's Tuition & Refund Schedule.
If a student feels they have an extenuating circumstance that justifies an exception to the refund policy, they may file a tuition appeal in the following manner:
- Appeals must be received no later than 120 days from the end of the term in which the course was offered.
- Appeals received after the deadline will not be reviewed.
- All requests must be submitted in writing and must include supporting documentation (e.g. drop/add forms, medical verification, obituary) and the Tuition Refund Appeal Form (PDF).
- Appeals received without the proper documentation and form will not be reviewed.
- Appeals must be made by the student. Appeals made “on behalf of” a student will not be reviewed (unless the student is unable to submit an appeal due to incapacitation).
Drop/add refund dates are widely publicized. Therefore, appeals based on lack of awareness of the dates will not be reviewed.
All decisions are final
Criteria for Appeals
- Death in the student’s immediate family (parent, sibling, offspring, spouse)
- Unforeseen medical incapacitation
- Military Duty – orders must accompany appeal
Please note that appeals will not be approved for reasons including, but not limited to, the following:
- Dismissal for academic or disciplinary reasons;
- Dissatisfaction with a course's meeting time, location, or instructor's mode of instruction;
- Lack of awareness/understanding of the College's policies, dates, and deadlines published in the College Catalog, in the Student Handbook, and online at www.monroecc.edu;
- Textbook or computer difficulties.
