Refund Policy (Institutional)

Students dropping a course by the end of the third instructional day of the semester (please see the applicable semester’s calendar for the exact date and time as set by the college) and “no shows” shall receive a 100-percent refund of applicable tuition (hours below 15-hour tuition cap) and applicable refundable fees, excluding the application fee. This refund policy is mandated by the Technical College System of Georgia and strictly followed by Chattahoochee Technical College.

Example: For a term that begins on May 1st, the last day to receive any refund is May 3rd. Refunds will only be issued for course(s) dropped on May 1st, 2nd, and/or 3rd. Any course(s) dropped on May 4th or later would not be eligible for any refund of tuition or fees—no matter the reason for drop.

To reiterate, students who withdraw from a course after the third instructional day (please see the applicable semester’s calendar for the exact date and time as set by the college) of the semester shall receive no refund.

Withdrawing students receiving federal financial aid will have their awards adjusted in compliance with the Return of Title IV Aid requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Education. Withdrawing from all courses could result in having to pay back federal aid received.
