Refund Policy
Students who officially drop or withdraw from the College may be eligible for a tuition adjustment. Tuition is refundable according to the following schedule for both full- and part-time students. The adjustment is determined by the date of the drop.
Federal aid recipients who withdraw completely before completing 60 percent of the semester will be subject to the federal government’s Return of Title IV Aid regulation. Contact the Financial Aid Office for more information at 518-697-6360.
Students who unofficially withdraw, in part or whole, are 100 percent liable for all tuition and fees.
