Withdrawals: For classes that do not meet within the above dates, the last day to withdraw is the
50% point of the class.
Refunds:
100% of tuition & fees if you complete the necessary withdrawal procedure before the
first class meeting.
50% of tuition & fees if the withdrawal procedure is completed before the equivalent
of two weeks of classes. i.e. classes that meet once a week, the second class equals 2 weeks, etc.
Academic Engagement: HCC requires academic engagement to remain enrolled in a course. Online courses require
submission of gradable coursework to be engaged. Face to face courses require the
student to be physically present when the course is in session. Instructors will report
“no show” students on the final day of the posted 50% refund period for the enrolled
session. Students who are dropped for non-attendance and non-engagement will be refunded
course tuition and fees. Visit HCC’s website to review the policy requirements.
