Tuition Refunds

In order to receive a tuition refund, a student must officially withdraw within the refund period specified within this policy. Refunds for sessions different from those listed below are prorated according to the session in proportion to the traditional 16-week session. A session is defined as an enrollment period within an academic term. An academic term (fall, spring, or summer) may have a number of session(s) running concurrently 15-12-8 or 5 week. Calendar days of the session, include all Saturdays and Sundays, but exclude KCTCS recognized holidays. Consult with the Gateway business office for specifics.
