Tuition Refund Policy

State-Supported Tuition Refund Policy

For state supported classes, tuition and fees* will be refunded upon official withdrawal by the student according to the following schedule:

  • 100% if the college cancels the class.
  • 100% if by the close of the fifth instructional day of the quarter.
  • 50% if by the close of the 20th instructional day of the quarter.
  • 0% after the 20th instructional day of the quarter.

Self-Support Courses

  • 100% if the college cancels the class.
  • 100% if withdrawal occurs on or before one business day prior to 1st class.
  • None if the student registers but doesn’t attend.

It is the student’s responsibility to complete a withdrawal form and submit it to the registration office. The date the withdrawal form is received will be used for calculating refunds.

Students called for military active duty will be granted a refund of tuition and fees paid during the current quarter, subject to the rules and regulations of their respective funding sources. Presentation of official orders is required. The refund policy applies to all Bates students, regardless of financial aid status.

The refund for students registered in courses or programs with an enrollment period other than the standard quarter will be made directly to the funding agency administrator.

*Certain consumable and pass-thru fees are not refundable.
