Technical Education Non-Credit Courses
Last Revised: May 2014
Refund Guidelines for Students A. A student is automatically considered enrolled in a class when he or she submits a registration for the
class, whether online or via a paper form. Once registered, the student must pay tuition. Registration is
not guaranteed until tuition has been paid, particularly for high-demand classes.
B. 100% refund will be granted if the student drops the class at least five (5) business days before the
start date. The term “refund” includes voiding invoices for unpaid balances. Drop requests must be
submitted in writing to the appropriate department. Emailed requests are acceptable.
C. Any type of refund may require up to approximately six (6) weeks for processing. The College is a state
agency, and therefore, all refunds must be substantiated in writing and are subject to review by the
State of Louisiana Office of the Legislative Auditor.
D. Nonattendance does not constitute dropping a class. If the student does not submit a drop request, he
or she will be billed for the class even if he or she has not attended.
E. No drop requests and associated refunds will be granted after the five-day drop period has passed.
-
Exceptions might be granted on a case-by-case basis in the event of certain documentable
emergencies. A refund request must be submitted in writing within 30 days of the course end
date to the appropriate department along with documentation of the emergency.
-
A Refund Request Committee, comprised of appointed representatives of Workforce
Development and Technical Education (usually department heads or their designees), will
evaluate the requests on a monthly basis. Decisions of this committee shall be considered final
and not eligible for appeal.
F. 100% refunds are automatically processed if a class is cancelled by Delgado Community College.
-
Students will be notified when a class is cancelled by the College prior to the scheduled starting
date. All efforts will be made to provide notice of cancellation at least three (3) business days
before start date of course.
-
A written request from the student is not required to process a refund in this instance.
Payment Guidelines for Students
A. Failure to pay any balance in full by the end date of a class may result in the account being placed with
a collection agency. Students are responsible for all collection and/or legal fees associated with
accounts placed with collection. Holds that restrict registration, release of grades, results, and/or
certificates of completion may be placed on accounts with a balance remaining after the class has
ended.
B. Students are assessed a fee for all returned checks and/or credit card chargebacks due to insufficient
funds, unauthorized use, cancelled card, or fraud. The fee is $25 or five percent of the amount of the
returned check/ credit card chargeback, whichever is greater. Only in the case of a bank or card issuer
error will the returned check/credit card chargeback penalties be removed. After the College has
exhausted its attempts to notify the student, failure to pay the returned check or credit card chargeback
and additional charges may subject the student to an administrative withdrawal from classes and
his/her account may be submitted to a collection agency.
