All students who officially withdraw from the college or individual classes by the withdrawal process, will receive a refund according to the MCCCD Official Refund Policy. Please review the complete refund policy and schedule of refunds located here. Deadlines that fall on a weekend or a college holiday will advance to the next college workday.

Refunds for students receiving federal financial assistance are subject to federal guidelines. Please contact Financial Aid for further assistance.

Debts owed to any MCCCD college must be satisfied before any refunds are paid to the student. Requests for exceptions to the refund policy must be filed within one year from the semester in which the course was taken.

NOTE: Placing a Stop Payment on your check payment does not constitute official withdrawal, and will result in additional fees and collection costs.

A request for a partial or full refund outside the above specified parameters must be made in writing to the Office of Admissions & Records for the following reasons only:

• A student with a serious illness, verifiable by a doctor's written statement that the illness prevents the student from attending all classes for the semester. The doctor's statement must be on file with the college before a refund will be approved and issued.
• Serious illness or death of a family member that prevents the student from attending all classes for the semester. Appropriate documentation must be provided before a refund will be approved and issued.
• Death of a student. Appropriate documentation must be provided before a refund can be approved and issued.
• A student in the Armed Forces of the Arizona National Guard who is called to active duty and assigned to a duty station, verifiable by a copy of the orders, will be allowed to withdraw and receive a 100% refund of tuition, provided courses have not been completed. (special and miscellaneous fees will not be refunded)
