WAC 132I-160-110   Refunds.  Refunds resulting from official withdrawal from courses will be computed as follows for state supported courses:

     (1) One hundred percent. The refund will be one hundred percent of the amount paid if an official withdrawal form is received in the registration office or at the Highline College Federal Way Center before the sixth day of instruction of the quarter for which the fees have been paid. The deadlines vary for summer quarter courses, late-starting courses, or short courses. Deadlines are published in the quarterly class schedule.

     (2) Cancelled courses. When Highline Community College cancels a course, Highline will refund the total amount paid for the course unless the student enrolls in a course to replace the cancelled course. If the new course is for fewer credits, Highline will refund the difference.

     (3) Forty percent. Highline Community College will refund forty percent of the total amount paid if an official withdrawal form is received in the registration office or at the Highline Community College Federal Way Center on or after the sixth day of instruction, provided such withdrawal occurs within the first twenty calendar days following the beginning of instruction. The deadlines vary for summer quarter courses, late-starting courses, or short courses. Deadlines are published in the quarterly class schedule.

     (4) Summer quarter, late starting, and short courses. Refunds for these courses will be determined by the registrar.

     (5) Continuing education classes. To obtain refunds for self-support courses, withdrawals must be received forty-eight hours before the first scheduled course meeting. Other refunds, except for course cancellation, will be made at the discretion of the director of continuing education.

     (6) There is no refund of the nonrefundable fall quarter registration deposit to students who did not pay the total amount of their tuition and fees before the deadline. This deadline is published in the quarterly class schedule.

     (7) A processing fee will be withheld from all refunds issued, except when Highline Community College cancels a course, in accordance with chapter 131-28 WAC and under regular college fiscal processes.
