Full refunds (100%)
A refund of all tuition paid will be issued providing a Drop/Add form is processed and in the possession of the Campus Services Office (Van Lare Hall) prior to 3:30 p.m. of the last day of the enrollment period of the semester, or if a miscellaneous course, prior to the end of the enrollment period of the course.

The "enrollment period" is defined as: not less than 1/10th of the calendar days between and including the first day of the semester and the final exam period. This college uses a Predominant Calendar System for determining the actual enrollment period for regularly scheduled semester courses (Fall, Spring, Summer). Other individually scheduled courses have independently determined enrollment periods.

The "enrollment period" starts with the first instructional day of a semester or miscellaneous course and ends when the appropriate number of calendar days have elapsed.

Financial aid students are subject to federal regulations requiring a refund calculation for all students who totally withdraw or stop attendance prior to the 60 percent mark of the semester. The student may be required to repay all or a portion of total dollars received. No scholarship or grant funds will be refunded to the student. Books can be returned to the ACC Bookstore for the proper credit. Fees currently being charged to students include a registration fee, student services fee, facilities maintenance fee, technology fee and a drop/add fee. A request for refunds for extenuating circumstances must be submitted to the Vice President of Instruction/Student/Community Services.

Return of Title IV Funds (Federal Aid)
Based on the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, students receiving Title IV financial aid (Stafford Loan, Perkins Loan, PLUS Loan, Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant or other federal sources of aid), and who withdraw, drop out or are dismissed before completing more than 60 percent of the payment period, are subject to a calculation to determine if funds must be returned to the federal or state financial aid programs. In some cases, Title IV aid must be returned.

The calculation of the return of these funds may result in the student owing a balance to Alpena Community College and/or the federal government. Once the student has completed more than 60 percent of the payment period, all federal financial aid assistance is considered to be earned and the funds may be retained. If funds must be returned, the order of return is as follows: unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan; subsidized Federal Stafford Loan; Federal Perkins Loan; Federal PLUS Loan; Federal Pell Grant; Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant; other Title IV aid programs.

A detailed explanation of the required Return of Title IV Funds Calculation and examples are available in Campus Services (VLH 108) or the Huron Shores Campus office.
