(per SBHE Policy 830.2-Refund Policy)
Financial Impacts of Dropping or Withdrawing
NDSCS is required to follow the ND State Board of Higher Education Policy and Procedure 830.2 regarding class drops and/or withdrawals from college.
- Refund eligibility is based on the date on which the drop/withdrawal is effective. See the NDSCS Drop/Withdrawal/ Refund Schedule found at www.NDSCS.edu/Refund.
- Any cost adjustments to a student’s original charges will first be applied to the semester’s outstanding NDSCS balance before a refund is issued to the student (if applicable).
- A class that is dropped prior to the completion of 9 percent of the class session will receive a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees for the number of credits related to the dropped class. After 9 percent of the class session, no refund or tuition and fees will be received.
Financial Aid Recipients - All or a portion of financial aid may be returned to the funding source, based on the remaining number of credits for the semester and/or the date of withdrawal. This return of funds will be charged to the student’s NDSCS account, which may result in a balance owed to NDSCS. The balance will be the student’s responsibility to pay. Students who withdraw may be ineligible for federal student aid at NDSCS in the future.
