Refunds & Disbursements

Carteret Community College deducts any debt owed to the College before issuing a refund. To receive a 100 percent refund of your tuition and fees, you must drop your class before the first class day. The “first class day” is the day the session officially begins. It may precede the first day your class actually meets. View more information at Refunds.

Partial tuition refunds (75%) are available after classes start, but deadlines apply. Official refund deadlines are listed below. Check the Academic Calendar for specific refund dates, in particular for short sessions, which may vary.

In addition to the above information, any student may receive a 100 percent tuition and fee refund if

  1. the student registers for class(es) which are canceled due to insufficient enrollment
  2. upon official notification, active duty military and reservists are called to active duty during a semester in which they are currently enrolled

FINANCIAL AID DISBURSEMENTS

Financial Aid disbursements for eligible students whose financial aid awards exceed charges for tuition, fees, and bookstore charges will be available for pick-up approximately six weeks after the beginning of each semester.  Refund dates are posted in the Financial Aid Office and e-mailed to students via student e-mail accounts.

Late applicants eligible for an award for a prior semester will be paid based on the number of hours completed for all prior semesters in the applicable academic year.

Students who are owed a refund due to dropping a class(es) or the class was canceled will receive their refund in the manner by which they paid for the class. Checks will be issued for classes paid by cash or check. Classes paid by a credit card will have the refund processed back to the card on record.
