MassBay Community College policies and procedures for Refunds, Extenuating Circumstances, Withdrawal Policy, and withdrawal/refund deadline calendars per type of course(s) taken.
Students who voluntarily withdraw from course(s) or the College are granted a refund or reduction of tuition and fees according to the schedule below. Lack of attendance or course abandonment, does not constitute course withdrawal. Students who do not withdraw in accordance with college procedures are subject to full payment of tuition and fees. The withdrawal date is determined by the date all forms are completed and turned into proper offices.
A student may submit a financial petition if extenuating circumstances occurred preventing the student from completing coursework for a term. The financial petition process can be used to request a tuition and fee adjustment after the published deadline due to these circumstances. Any grades received and recorded on the student’s transcripts will not be affected by this process and will remain a part of the student’s academic record.
A refund may be available if there is a credit balance on your Bay Navigator Account. A credit balance could result from the following:
