Refund Policy

Refunds for tuition and fees only occur when official withdrawal procedures are properly completed within the advertised Tuition Refund Table located in the current Morton College course schedule. Telephone requests to be withdrawn from courses are not accepted. The college does not grant refunds to students who:

  • voluntarily enlist in military service following the close of the refund period
  • are dismissed for disciplinary reasons
  • are financially obligated to a college department or office at the time of withdrawal
  • withdraw from courses after the posted deadline

The college may award 100% refunds and late withdrawals to students who present documented extenuating circumstances. Extenuating circumstances include: serious illness or injury to the student that required extended recovery, death or serious illness of an immediate family member, significant trauma in the student’s life that impaired the student’s emotional and/or physical health. Third-party verifiable documentation is required to have a refund request considered by the committee. Refund requests must follow the Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures. Completed packets must be submitted to the Dean of Student Services via the Academic Advising Department located in the One Stop Center, 1st floor of B Building. All requests must be completed within 30 college-business days of the end of the term in question.

Morton College reserves the right to approve or deny any claims. Appeals to the decision must be made, in writing, to the Provost.
